Oracle Octopus Found Dead |
|
 Paul the psychic octopus, who gained fame predicting winners in this year’s Football World Cup in South Africa, has died at an aquarium in Germany. He died in the Oberhausen aquarium tank in which he shot to stardom, correctly predicting the winners of all of Germany’s World Cup clashes, even risking ending up as dinner when he tipped against it. “His success made him almost a bigger story than the World Cup itself,” Sea Life manager Stefan Porwoll comments. After Paul’s eighth accurate forecast of Spain to beat the Netherlands in the final, he went into retirement. His body is in cold storage while the aquarium decides how best to farewell him.
