Fiona The Hippo Predicted The Kansas City Chiefs To Win This Year's Super Bowl–By Vomiting On Them
Fiona, the adorable 3-year-old Nile hippopotamus from the Cincinnati Zoo, was tasked with predicting the winning team at the Super Bowl.
Unfortunately, zookeepers tried to make her choose between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers just after she had her lunch.
On Thursday afternoon, Fiona was placed in front of two "enrichment items," each marked with the respective team logos.
The animal handlers waited to see which one the 1,200-pound hippo would press with her snout to indicate the champions.
The hippo paused, slowly unhinged her jaw and vomited her freshly chomped veggies on top of the Kansas City logo.

What does this exactly mean for the Chiefs?
Only Fiona knows.
But based on the upchuck, 49ers fans took liberties and bet in favor of their team.

Or did this indicate a Chiefs victory?
@WLWT Looks like she ate a 9er- & spit their pants out as a souvenir for Chiefs Players. It's a Chiefs SuperBowl on 2/2/20.— Victoria Armand (@Victoria Armand) 1580427105.0

@washingtonpost This is anthropomorphism. For all we know, vomiting on something could be a sign of approval in hippo culture.— Double-Edged Sword Lesbian (@Double-Edged Sword Lesbian) 1580460918.0
@kmbc It’s widely known that being vomited on by a hippo is lucky! Go Chiefs!— Michael Blumenthal (@Michael Blumenthal) 1580416788.0
I am Fiona the hippo! I'm rooting for the Chiefs, but I vomit a little each time I say that. https://t.co/LOHSfGm7OS— Long Cool Woman (@Long Cool Woman) 1580469102.0
Maybe this was her way of saying "leave me out of it."

Fiona was born prematurely on January 24, 2017 and has been a celebrity ever since.
The beloved Nile hippopotamus was the first of her species to be scanned through the womb on ultrasound and the first to be born at the institution in 75 years.
Fiona is a big celebrity here, born prematurely and beating the odds. I'm hoping that hippo barf is a good omen, li… https://t.co/iua63kudWI— Housewives Whisperer👂👄(Jen) (@Housewives Whisperer👂👄(Jen)) 1580423096.0

Fiona is known to have a 50% accuracy rate with her predictions so far.
In 2018, she prophesied a Philadelphia Eagles victory against the New England Patriots, but inaccurately bet against the Pats and went with the Los Angeles Rams, in 2019.
Super Bowl LIV will take place on Sunday, February 2, 2020 and televised by FOX.
Kickoff starts at 6:30 p.m. EST at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Whatever Fiona was thinking, it certainly did not smell like team spirit.
Girl Suggests Threesome With Boyfriend, But Now Wants To Sleep With Someone Else Because He Did
Ahh, threesomes... the roulette of monogamous relationships. You spin and take your turn never knowing if this is going to end in a fizzle, some fireworks, or a freakout. Spoiler alert: unless you're both experienced players, there's been a LOT of talk and clear boundaries drawn, or both - it's pretty likely to end in freakout. Bummer, cause fireworks fam. Fireworks.
Enter our the lovelorn hero of our tale.
He let his girlfriend talk him into a threesome. At first, he thought it had ended in fireworks. Alas, getting away unscathed was not in the cards. His girlfriend soon came to him with an idea. Now that he had been intimate with someone other than her - she should have the right to be intimate with a man other than him. According to her, it didn't matter that she was also intimate with their third partner since she was another woman. There had been no discussion of this before the threesome. Had our Reddit Romeo been hoodwinked? Perhaps his lady love is just more adventurous than he previously thought and wants to try out all of her fantasies now?
In His Words:
My girlfriend was the one who suggested a threesome. At first I wasn't sure if she was serious, but when I found out she was, I was pretty ecstatic. I never thought there could be an ulterior motive.
I'd never known her to be bi or anything like that, and she still identifies as a straight girl. But she seemed keen to experiment and "open up" as she put it. So I was only happy to go along.
The other girl was an acquaintance we only loosely know, and we see her every now and again. My girlfriend knows her better than I do, and she's the one who set most of it up.
When we had the threesome, it seemed fun for all of us, and I feel I should point out that it wasn't just me who was having sex with this other girl, but my girlfriend who also having sex with her and doing stuff with her on the day.
Now here's where things get messy. About a week later, my girlfriend comes up with a new proposition. She asks me that since I got to have sex with another girl, if she can have sex with another guy. She said its only fair, since I got to have sex with a girl outside the relationship, she gets to have sex with a guy. (edit: Details in case of confusion. She suggested either a MMF (male/male/female) threesome, or just her plus another guy, whichever I'd be most amenable to)
I instantly said absolutely no, it was out of the question. I pointed out to her that the threesome was for both of us, not just me. And it wasn't just I who had sex with someone outside of our relationship, but she did as well, with the same person, so its fair and even. I said it shouldn't matter if this other person was same sex or opposite sex.
What's more, I said that when she proposed the threesome, at no point did she suggest, mention, or imply, this would mean she'd be able to try somebody else.
I feel like the whole threesome was a set-up so she could afterwards push the issue of having sex with another guy. And I'm pretty sure she has a guy lined up in mind, it sure sounded like it.
So I'm pretty obstinate about "No", she can't have sex with someone else. She thinks I'm being unfair, and maintains the position that she should be allowed to, since I had sex with the that girl in the threesome (even though she also had sex with her)
I feel like I was manipulated, used, and set up. Part of me fears she's going to go and cheat with the other guy anyway, even though I said no. For this reason I'm strongly considering ending our relationship now and going our separate ways. Although personally I'd prefer we settle this in a way without her cheating and without ending our relationship.
I'm not interested in an open relationship or a f^ckbuddy situation or anything like that. The threesome was fun, but I don't want to do that too regularly.
Oh BOY did Reddit have a lot to say about this. Here are some of our favorite responses, edited for language and clarity when needed.
