I read somewhere that if you make sticky rice and eat ten bites of it you can do a form oof Divination by looking at the shapes and patterns in the remaining rice. Where on earth did that come from??!!

At first, I thought it was probably Buddhist or Taoist, I can only find slight mentions of it on websites regarding Southeast Asia but nothing really specific.

Probably from a Chinese mother trying to get her kids to finish dinner quickly! Heh!

Astragalomancy.... This one uses dice, not rice. Drat.

**frowns** Well that bites. I thought there would be one for every letter of the alphabet. It stops after the C's. Stupid thing.
