PAUL THE PSYCHIC OCTOPUS

Paul the Octopus, the so-called “Oracle of Oberhausen” (because he lives in Sea Life aquarium located in the western German city of Oberhausen), predicted that Spain national team will get the 2010 World Cup title. The live TV broadcast was seen on Friday where this prophetic cephalopod chooses Spain over Netherlands. What a relief for the Spanish team!

“What the hell? An octopus predicting the winners and millions of people believes his prophecy? Why would I believe in his prediction?”

Paul usually predicts games in which German plays. He rose to fame after he accurately predicted that Germany will lose to Spain in the semifinal round.

FREED OR FRIED
Paul becomes in demand and has gotten business proposals. He had caught attention of millions of people and even world leaders. A facebook site has been opened exclusively for Paul fans, which has a total of 121, 721 fans as of now.

After his prediction came true, that the Germans will lose in the semifinals, he received multiple death threats from the Germans. Many Germans wants him fried but threats were lessen after he accurately predicted Germans victory in the third place playoff.

Paul predicted that Uruguay will lose to Germany and due to insistent public demand, his handlers allowed him to predict the winner in the World Cup finals.

Meanwhile, animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) wants him freed but Sea Life aquarium manager, Stefan Porwoll, said that Paul was born in captivity and that freeing him would likely mean death.

BATTLE OF THE PSYCHICS: PAUL THE OCTOPUS VS MANI THE PARAKEET

Since the start of World Cup tournament, the handlers said that Paul is always correct in his prediction and that Spanish victory in the finals will come true. But Mani, the intelligent parakeet in Serangoon, Singapore, opposes that prediction. Mani predicted that the Dutch will win in the finals. Read more here – Paul the Octopus vs Mani the Parakeet

    Superstition. I am surprised at this nonsense. Why should a sea animal tell men who should win or loss.
    May Netherland proof the supremacy of men over other animals. Where is the strategy of men. I am disappointed in those who believe in this octopus. It is just another form of entertainment for gamblers

    It is in this polarised world of sects and pseudo light houses that trust and faith in God shifts to an ordinary debased animal being called octopus to predict what the future holds for man who is the crown of creation.
