30 by Tom The Octopus nailed it again. Germany upset Argentina. Chris may be right. It's time to chuck this astrology stuff and get to the octopus store. Quote Sun Jul 04, 2010 2:53 pm
32 by Deb Did anyone notice this thing has had 298 views? That's because people believe they will find discussion on sport, etymology, and the World Cup - how dissapointed they must be when they leave. The octopus story is holding up well though. Its quite satisfying that a creature which really doesn't care - not in the way that I don't care, because I don't care with a passion involved - can act as a font of knowledge on this matter. That's if he's still getting it right. What I've learned out of all this is that having an eclipse of the Sun that is visible in South America on the day of the world cup is not a good sign for the South American nations, and that my dreams of England winning the world cup are as meaningless as everyone else's dreams of England winning the world cup.

33 by PFN About the eclipse, that was my first reaction as well. When I heard there was a visible eclipse in our continent, I thought "that can not be a good thing... at all". Eclipses are never a good omen... Paulo Felipe Noronha Quote Wed Jul 07, 2010 4:18 pm

35 by yuzuru Yeah, but I though that the eclipse would mean that a country of south america would go to the final and then lose in big fashion.... other factor that may had a saying is the current mars-saturn conjunction in virgo. virgo is said to rule most of countries in latinamerica Meu blog de astrologia (em portugues) http://yuzuru.wordpress.com My blog of astrology (in english) http://episthemologie.wordpress.com Quote Wed Jul 07, 2010 6:36 pm
36 by Deb Yeah, but I though that the eclipse would mean that a country of south america would go to the final and then lose in big fashion.... So did I Yuzuru. I never had an opinion on who would win, but because of this I thought Argentina would lose in the final. Ah so ... Quote Wed Jul 07, 2010 6:55 pm
