Gamblers go to Cape Vultures to Predict World Cup Winners



A story from Metro in the UK says some gamblers are trying to outsmart the bookies during this summer's World Cup. Apparently the brain of this bird has magical powers that help predict match results. Due to that legend, there has been a rise in poached cape vultures leading up to the World Cup. After the bird is killed, the brains are dried and smoked.
"So Bob, who is going to make it out of the group of death?" Bob replies, "Well Mitch, let me get my pipe and burn down some vulture brains and I'll get back to you."
