Paul the Octopus has thus far picked six successive winning teams in the World Cup and this uncanny ability of a member of a 'lower order' to outsmart human pundits has got me thinking.
My horse has been training a lot better since Julia Gillard became our first female PM and is due to start in Canberra no less, tomorrow. You might recall (see blog below) that he was running increasingly badly as Kevin 07's fortunes waned.
What if he wins tomorrow? Does that mean he is predicting a Julia Gillard led, Labor Party victory at the upcoming Federal election?
Should I organise a start for him at Nowra to bolster the chances of the defeat of the current Liberal Member for Gilmore? Since her electorate now almost reaches Kembla Grange racecourse would that be close enough? He's won there twice before so another start there is on the cards.
Should I declare my candidacy on the strength of his return to form? Could a miraculous victory by the man with the silly name- but not the silliest ideas- be possible after all?
He's number 4 in race 5 at Canberra tomorrow if you fancy taking his advice.
