Oracle buffalo predicts Argentina to win the cup

CHIANG RAI, 11 July 2014 (NNT) - The famous albino buffalo in Chiang Rai Province has predicted that this year's winning team is Argentina.

State enterprises in Chiang Rai are trying to create a fun atmosphere for the World Cup by having the "oracle buffalo", an albino buffalo named View that was saved from the slaughterhouse two years ago, make its prediction about the winner.

The buffalo made his prediction by tying each football team's flags to grass and seeing which one he would eat, and he kept choosing the Argentinian flag.

That made me smile.

What is his 'track record' of choosing the winners?

[JesseFrank]

If the outcome is correct, will he be slaughtered for fixing the result, similar to the Singapore guy who recently predicted a result.

Well if it was tied to grass which he was about to eat, maybe he was predicting annihilation to Argentina.

Well, he has a 50/50 chance of being right, and if he is, Thai people will be lining up to offer him things to make merit so they can win the lottery.

He did very well tying those flags on, what with having hooves and all.

That's why he is a buffalo

I wonder if he will kill himself after Germany win?

Well, he has a 50/50 chance of being right, and if he is, Thai people will be lining up to offer him things to make merit so they can win the lottery.

Judging the difference between Germany and Argentina this week i would say he had a 20/80 chance of being right.

Why are most of yesterday's news topics being re-pasted???

[ronthai]

Flags on the ground and eaten by a buffalo.

If somebody did that to a Thai flag, the Thais would again be scream out all over the social media, ...

What are the chances?!! Exactly.
