The Mystery of Peter Answers

As I have been scrubbing the internet for more information regarding Peter Answers I have come across a lot of good info on things like the tarot cards and other tools used by fortune tellers to divine the future.

One area of particular interest is Asian Fortune Telling. While there are many methods of Asian Fortune Telling, these are the most popular:

• Face Reading - This is the interpretation of facial features of the nose, eyes, mouth and other criteria within one’s face and the conversion of those criteria into predictions for the future. This usually covers one phase of the client’s life, and reveals the type of luck associated with a certain age range. A positions map also refers to different points on the face. This represents the person’s luck at different ages. The upper region of the face represents youth, the middle region of the face represents middle age, and the lower region of the face represents old age.
• Palm Reading - This analyzes the positioning of palm lines for love, personality, and other traits. It somewhat resembles Western palmistry in technique.
• Kau Cim - This requires the shaking of a bamboo cylinder, which results in at least one modified incense stick leaving the cylinder. The Chinese characters inscribed on the stick are analyzed by an interpreter. The prediction is short range, as it covers one Chinese calendar year. In the West, this method has been popularized under the trade-name “Chi-Chi sticks.”
• Zi wei dou shu - This procedure, sometimes loosely called (Chinese: 劈命, pik meng), involves the client seeking an advisor with a mastery of the Chinese calendar. Astrology is used in combination with the Chinese constellation, four pillars of destiny and the five elements methods of divination. The end result is a translation of one’s destiny path, an interpretation of a pre-determined fate. The result of the details vary depending on the accuracy of the original four pillars information the client provides to the fortune-teller. This method can also verify unique events that have already happened in one’s life.

But while all of that sounds very interesting, I don’t know why people would go to all of that trouble when it is so easy to say, “Peter, please answer me” and to have the answer on your computer?
