Psychic octopus killed for food
Rabio, the psychic octopus that predicted Japan's World Cup win against Colombia, draw with Senegal, and loss to Poland, has been killed and sent to the fish market. From The Telegraph:
Kimio Abe, the fisherman who captured Rabiot, placed the octopus in a tank with three baskets of food representing a victory for Japan, a defeat or a draw...
I was happy that Japan was able to qualify for the knock-out stages, Mr Abe told the Mainichi newspaper, although the octopus run of form had not been enough to save it.
Concluding that his business was more important than Rabiots predictions, Mr Abe said Rabiot had been shipped - a euphemism for gutted and sold.
