(via sequentialist)

A conversation on the phone with Mihir got me concerned about the bar exam, but I went to a palm reader yesterday who told me that I would pass and without much effort.

The palm reader also told me that I would get divorced if I got married before I turned 30. My dad asserted a few times that palm reading is an empirical science. I asked him, “Knowing what we know now, if you were me, would you get married before 30?”

“No,” he replied, “because I hate divorce.”
