Smoking vulture brains: what could possibly go wrong? (hint: everything)

It’s hard to convince people to read stories about vultures, even stories about the endangered status of 7 out of 9 South African species due to the fact that people are smoking vulture brains to try to make themselves clairvoyant, so I’ll give you the whole final paragraph as a pull-quote to entice you to go read the whole article to see how the author gets from the lottery to brains.

The vulture’s extraordinary looks and activities have resulted in an undeservedly bad reputation. But by cleaning up dead bodies, they perform an essential role in the ecosystem. One I do not wish to live without. If only the South African government could have predicted that introducing the Lotto would have led to a dramatic increase in the death of these animals. But then, nothing can help you see the future. Least of all, smoking vulture brains.

    It would seem a scientific study would end the notion that smoking vulture brains will lead to a lotto win. I mean if Zero out of 1000 vulture brain smokers are lotto winners….

    (When I first read the title of this post I read Smoking as an adjective and not a verb.)
