Ro-Bahhht Goat

At Tokyo’s Edogawa Kyotei boat races, they have found an innovative way to soothe the bruised egos of those left holding losing tickets. Presumably, their solution also helps to keep trash in it’s place. What is it? You get to feed your losing tickets to a robot goat, of course. When a ticket is placed in the goat-bot’s mouth, a sensor is triggered, telling it to start chewing away at the ticket. You just know they are taking bets on how many tickets it will take before a finger is devoured.

His diet consists of about 500 tickets per day. Those who provide the meals believe that the goat-bot will bring them luck in the next race. Somehow I doubt it. If that were true, the goat would be starving.
