Fred the Psychic Ferret will predict Euro 2012 soccer results/chew your face
After Paul the Psychic Octopus (RIP) changed the landscape with his correct predictions in the 2010 World Cup, every nation that plays host to a major sports tournament must now trot out a menagerie of supernatural critters. So far in the Euro 2012 tournament, which begins next month, we have a psychic hog and a psychic elephant (the elephant actually won a competition at the Krakow Zoo, beating a psychic parrot and a psychic donkey to reach the finals).
Now meet Fred, the Psychic Ferret.
Fred joins soothsayer hog Khryak in Kyiv and Citta the elephant in Krakow, Poland and like the other two will appear in Fan Zones where he will choose from plates of food bearing the flags of competing teams, whichever bowl he eats from being declared the favourite.
“Ferret will have precisely 15 minutes in the Fan Zone and in this 15 minutes it will have to predict the winning team.”
But how do we know that Fred won’t be choosing the losing team? Or, being an animal, doesn’t have any freaking idea what’s happening except that he’s being given two dishes of food? Sad. It’s a long, hard fall after the fame of Beastmaster, isn’t it Fred?
