    Use a Magic 8 Ball — they are more accurate.

    Pig crushed by a chandelier? That would be a misfortune.

    More likely he’s about to be hit in the eye with a crystal ball.

    Why couldn’t the fortune teller have children? Because her husband had crystal balls…

    I worked on a project restoring 2 crystal ballroom chandeliers. They’re quite heavy. Steel frame covered with gold leaf, loads of glass crystals and a crystal ball hanging from the bottom. Both are hung with steel cable attached to a winch…

    Since Stephan ’ loves’ grammar Nazis from Pa, the correct phrase is ‘Try TO do’ something. My work here is done. I’ll go quietly now.

    I read a story about someone who bought a crystal ball at an antique store, and the shop owner warned him to keep it covered with a cloth. The buyer said something snarky about seeing the future or monsters coming through. No, sunlight through it can cause a fire. I once saw a glove start to smolder when sunlight was pouring through a glass bottle full of water so I can readily believe it.

    Sadly, people really do go to “fortune tellers” and “tarot readers” and all other such nonsense. SMH

    A lot goes into using a crystal ball despite what you may see the fakes doing. Which is why I don’t use one.

    True story: My parents were friends with a couple with the last name of ‘Lear’. This couple had a daughter (if still alive, she’d be about my age)-first name Crystal, middle name Shonda……
