Here's what Wikipedia says...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven

There is no consistent distinction between "crows" and "ravens", and these appellations have been assigned to different species chiefly on the basis of their size, crows generally being smaller than ravens.

Apr 5, 2021
There is only one species of raven (Corvus corax) and one species of crow (Corvus corone) native to Western Europe. Obviously the names 'raven' and 'crow' originally referred to these species and in Europe, they still do. Later, other species of corvid were discovered in other parts of the world. These were named raven or crow depending on their size, not taxonomy.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is ten times worse than Tubthumping. I'd never heard of Black Lace until reading your comment, but...wow. That song is unbearable. It seems like a novelty song though, which makes it less regrettable than a band that was really trying its best and ended up foisting Breakfast at Tiffany's on us. I'm trying to think of a worse one-hit wonder than Breakfast at Tiffany's, and I am really struggling. That song is in a musical Bermuda Triangle, where it's not fun or catchy enough to excuse how cheesy it is (e.g., Mambo #5), and it's not so impossibly cheesy that it becomes ironically fun (e.g., Never Gonna Give You Up). It's just a helping of soggy sonic bread.

What's the point of judging fun little pop songs? I mean, if you want to talk about something that is critically acclaimed listen to Captain Beefheart's album Trout Mask Replica and don't bother with pop music. If a person wants to type lyrics to Breakfast at Tiffany's, why immediately dump on the song? Also, anyone who knows anything about music can jump back a few decades and point out much better targets for "worst pop songs." Disco Duck is pretty grating. Pac Man Fever is rough. Gimme Dat Ding is pretty annoying. I personally hate the sound of Alley Oop by the Hollywood Argyles. Yet listening to Get Dancin' by Disco Tex always makes me smile and I'm sure many people think that song is awful. Aaaaanyway... most popular music isn't really artistically "good", so just enjoy what you enjoy. And if JoshPen likes Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany's, I support that!

I dunno if the question has been changed since this comment was written, but at least as of now, it asks for an "event" whose results were predicted by the octopus.

(And yes, just "World Cup" worked for me.)

Apr 13, 2025
Strictly, in a mathematical sense? No. But if 'strictly' is the standard, would any of those other suggestions be better? Also, no. Cone comes closest to describing the shape of a tipi (teepee) for the purpose of picturing it in your mind.

The question asks for an event though, and those are very general answers that don't have to do with any specific game or tournament. Just "World Cup" works, football is a sport, not an event
