Gillard's chances get a legs-up
It's hard not to be amused at the way everyone now wants to consult octopodes as oracles. Is there a quatrain from Nostrodamus that predicted this development?
"The Nations will fight on the field of the beasts
The spawn of the Kraken will foretell the outcome
The true prophets of the universe are revealed
My book sales plummet"
There was once a Roman General who prior to a battle consulted an oracle. When the sacred chickens wouldn't peck at the grain - this being a bad omen - said "Well if they won't eat, then let them drink" and flung them off the ship.
