Shit Times conveniently left out the wrong prediction that Mani made.

Mani's raking in the money
It's $20 per World Cup tip now for Mani the parakeet, up from $5 previously
July 09, 2010
With only two World Cup matches left, Mani the parakeet is busier than usual.
Having swiftly attained a cult following since he correctly predicted all four winners of the World Cup quarter-finals, his admirers have been flocking to the narrow five-footway in Little India to seek his wise advice.
In yesterday morning's semi-final showdown between Spain and Germany, Mani once again proved that he's not all fluff when he picked Spain as the winner.
All this is starting to have an effect.
Previously, $3 to $5 would have got you a prediction from Singapore's very own celebrity tipster.
But when The New Paper visited Mani yesterday, his owner Mr Muniyappan, 70, was charging $20 per World Cup prediction.
The cost of getting one's fortune told and for picking 4D numbers remain at between $3 and $5.
When we asked the fortune-teller the reason behind the four-fold increase, he would only say that it was up to people whether they wanted to pay the price.
