Paul-The World Cup Octopus in Germany
Paul, the octopus who made headlines during the World Cup for his ability to predict the result of games, has died.Paul was retired from predicting games after the final, which, by the way, he nailed by picking Spain. He started just picking Germany matches, and he got all seven right. He was housed in an aquarium in Germany, and died of natural causes.
"Paul", the so-called "octopus oracle",was presented with a jersey and a bronze statuette at the Sea Life Aquarium in the western German city of Oberhausen July 22, 2010.
