Despite Rabiot’s run of success when it came to predicting results, the fisherman who caught the octopus, Kimio Abe, told local media this week that – much like Japan – the mollusc had exited the tournament early.
Abe said that, prior to Japan’s Round of 16 knockout match against Belgium yesterday, Rabio had been taken to market, turned into seafood and would be replaced by another octopus, Rabiot Junior.
Rabiot’s death, however, turned out to be a telling event in predicting Japan’s own exit from the World Cup as the country suffered a 3-2 loss to Belgium in a thrilling elimination match."
The Call of Cthulhu?!
Cthulhu?
Downside Up: The Golden Bough and Fraser/Frazer?
I guess Japan were just destined to BOUGH out of the World Cup after killing the oracle octopus?-)
Natasha de Tracie: AKA Lillian Lovecraft
It's been a real WTF(?) Lovecraftian year so far, it seems to me anyway.
"Cthulhu (/kəˈθuːluː/ kə-THOO-loo) is a cosmic entity created by writer H. P. Lovecraft and first introduced in the short story "The Call of Cthulhu", published in the American pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1928.
Considered a Great Old One within the pantheon of Lovecraftian cosmic entities, the creature has since been featured in numerous popular culture references.
Lovecraft depicts Cthulhu as a gigantic entity worshipped by cultists. Cthulhu's appearance is described as looking like an octopus, a dragon, and a caricature of human form."
