Princess Picks the Giants

Want to know which team is going to win the Super bowl on Sunday Feb 5? Just ask Princess the camel, who resides in the Popcorn Park Zoo in Lacy Township, New Jersey. For the record, Princess has correctly picked the winner of five of the last Super Bowls and this year she is picking the New York Giants.

The prognostication takes place with the help of the Zoo's general manager, John Bergmann, who places a graham cracker in each of his hands with the name of one team written on each. Which ever graham cracker Princess nibbles from first, is her pick.

"It started out when a local radio station was looking to have some fun, so they asked Princess who was going to win a particular game each week, and it just tool off from there," say Bergmann who notes that Princess went 14 and 6 picking regular season and playoff games this year. "Now we have guys calling up on Sunday morning wanting to know who Princess has picked that week. One guy even asked if she does lottery numbers."

For the record, I'm rooting for the Giants even though its a tough thing for a Philly fan to do.
