One of the best stand-up comedians and actors which the world has ever seen left this world all of a sudden.  With a brilliant film career attached to his name, with acclaimed movies such as  Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Awakenings (1990), Good Will Hunting (1997), as well as Popeye (1980), Aladdin (1992), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and Jumanji (1995), he surely left a mark on the movies industry and on the childhood of many.

His impeccable acting in the all-time favourite, Good Will Hunting (1997), awarded him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.  Apart from this award, he was nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Actor, he was presented with two Emmy Awards for his top-notch American primetime television programming, four Golden Globe Awards for his excellence in film and television and five Grammy Awards.

It is no surprise that Williams was loved by a huge number of people.  USA’s President, Barack Obama’s statement sent directly from the White House summed up Robin Williams.  The statement read:

“Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between.  But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien — but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.  He made us laugh.  He made us cry.  He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most — from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets.”

His distraught wife, Susan Schneider,  this morning stated the following: “This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken.”

We are all sure that your genuine soul will keep entertaining  millions of souls up there.  Thank you for all the memories and laughs you triggered through your remarkable range of performances.  Chapeau to a legend! Until we meet again, Rest in Peace!

Psychic animals trying to predict the outcomes of several big games aren’t a new trend at all.  Recall Paul the Octopus who managed to accurately predict eight matches from the 2010 South Africa World Cup.  Nico the Parrot, Sarge and Oscar the Macaws (Brazil’s national birds), and Alistair the Miniature Donkey, are all committing themselves to give their best in correctly predicting the outcomes of the upcoming matches. This was also the case for tonight’s match.

Nico the Parrot, has so far predicted all the games he has been asked to guess.  In fact, he correctly chose Brazil over Croatia and Netherlands over Spain.  Nico the African Parrot living in a pet shop in Naxxar, Malta, predicted that tonight’s winner will be Italy.  Italy supporters are surely backing his prediction, no need to wonder why.  Moreover Sarge and Oscar the Macaws, who are two species regarded as Brazil’s National Birds also tipped Italy as the winner in tonight’s clash.

Conversely, Alistair the Miniature Donkey chose the food box containing England’s flag, thus going against his fellow friends’ predictions.  Who will be right? Who will win tonight’s big match? Will it be the "Azzurri’ or the "Three Lions’? While waiting for the game, grab a beer and relax, because tonight is going to be intense.
