"Dutch"
The world cup final between Spain and Netherlands is only 12 hours away! ...I haven't seen a single game this world cup, but I'm excited for the final. I hope the Dutch win so I can get a first hand account from a friend who lives there on how crazy a country goes when their team wins! However I should add no team I've rooted for so far has won 2 games in a row. The odd's are against the dutch though, Paul the octopus picked Spain and he's been 100% correct so far. In fact when Paul chose the container of food with Spain's flag on it, all the people in Spain went nuts. I feel like I'm living in a Douglas Adams novel (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) where all these unbelievable and absurd things happen, I mean people holding their breath for an Octopus to decide which team was going to win the world cup! Pretty soon playing the actual games will just become a formality, whomever the Octopus picks just wins...game over.
If you haven't read Douglas Adams....trust me, we're not that far away from a world he imagined. In fact all human behavior is represented in his books, except instead of saying a certain attribute belongs to Italians he says it belongs to some alien race, it's funny because it's not racist, it's alienist (?). Genius.
