What does your future hold? Technology to the rescue! Feed the Fortune Ball your birth date and time, and it calculates a 30-day fortune for you, using the Chinese calendar, astrology, numerology, I Ching, and Biorythms. It'll start glowing in one of the following colors: Red means common fortune; purple means rising fortune; green means good fortune; light blue means great fortune; and dark blue means supreme fortune. There's no bad fortune? Yeah, OK. I'm assuming the true interpretations range from "Don't come out of the bomb shelter until I glow otherwise" to "Enjoy that mansion and private jet, hot stuff."

The Fortune Ball was invented by Dr. Ming Fang, who allegedly is a well-known developer of medical and industrial products.  If that's true, it's kind of sad to think that Dr. Fang put finding a cure for cancer on hold to make this thing. But for £69.99 (USD $112.68) you too can own a device run by a curious mélange of mystical superstitions that glows a vague forecast of the upcoming month.
