PAUL THE OCTOPUS

I just noticed this morning while watching the footie news on TV that Paul the Octopus guru always picks the box to his right. That and flags with red in them. When faced with Germany or Spain he chose the box on his right (as usual).

It's really amazing how this creature always manages to be right. During the Euro 2008 he apparently predicted EVERY SINGLE GAME correctly, except for the final. Wow. I'd love to know what makes this guy tick. XD

(The people in Germany call him the "Okrakel", which is a pun of the words "oracle" and "kraken". XD)

I know...and I laughed when I read that Spain had offered to protect Paul from becoming sushi anytime soon!

Hahahaha. I love the Spanish name for Paul..."El Pulpo". That is sort of self-explanatory. LOL.

LOL, he should not trust the Spaniards too quickly. Fried octopus is a famous tapa. XDDDD
