The problem with this story is that they could have done a little basic journalism and chose not to: do these animals really have a shot at predicting the winners of Euro Cup games? Pick up the goddamned phone and consult the psychic chicken.

    I thought entrail distribution was the best way to consult chickens. Now you have to 'phone? Brave new world.

    Also chicken.

    I refer you to the final chapter in "Locus Solus", where Mopsus the rooster has been taught to write predictions in Alexandrian acrostics by coughing blood onto a page.
    NOT MAKING THIS UP.

    I know of a horse predicting a triple crown.

    Does that count?
