Count Drac-Yu-la? Darvish Apparently Has Ability to Sense Blood Types

In what has got to be the weirdest talent this side of a guy I knew in high school who could swallow his burps and turn them into farts, Yu Darvish can apparently guess a person’s blood type just by looking at them. Jesse Rogers has the whole story over at ESPN, and it’s just as bizarre as it sounds. Knowledge and discussion of blood types are more common in Japan, but telepathy and intuition for antigens are not.

Maybe Darvish is actually a vampire, which would help to explain this supernatural power. It would also allow him to continue eating fried chicken well after death, though popular mythology holds that the need for traditional sustenance is overridden by bloodlust.
