Will the Curse of Colonel Sanders finally be lifted? No, not the taste of that "secret blend of 11 herbs and spices" they coat Kentucky Fried Chicken with, but the drought suffered by the Hanshin Tigers baseball team, who have failed to win the Japan Series since 1985, when fans celebrated that year's title by flinging a statue of KFC's founder in the river. It's finally been found by divers, but the Tigers faithful might have to wait a little while before it's replaced on its plinth, because KFC, sniffing a publicity opportunity, want to take it to Chicago to help another team, the city's Cubs, break their own jinx, the Curse of the Billy Goat. Tigers, Cubs, goats, chickens – no wonder some fans behave like animals.
