My friend John recently posted about a fun iPod game that turns your mp3 player into a $300 Magic Eight Ball.

The instructions are simple: set your iPod to “shuffle” and use the songs to answer the following questions. No cheating!

How does the world see me?
Will I have a happy life?
What do my friends think of me?
Will I have a happy life?
What do my friends think of me?
How can I make myself happy?
What should I do with my life?
Will I ever have children?
What is some good advice for me?
How will I be remembered?
What is my signature dancing song?
What is my current theme song?
What song will play at my funeral?
What type of men/women do you like?
What is your day going to be like?

Of course by now, you’re probably dying to know what results I obtained when I tried this little game myself. I’m not a very superstitious person, and I generally don’t have much truck with astrology, fortune-telling, or other supernatural methods of prediction. But I have to admit: my results were surprisingly, and eerily, appropriate. See for yourself:
