Paul the Octopus


I don't know if you guys have heard of this story, but apparently this octopus in Germany has become famous for correctly predicting the outcome of the World Cup Matches so far.

This is insane.

    "they said (we r sure after Germany loss they gonna cut Paul into cubes and fry him ):D"

    actually that what happened though they wanted him grilled not fried :S

    here's what i found :S :

    (Germans want Paul on their plate, According to Der Western daily paper, there have been “a host of comments on Facebook, Twitter ... suggesting Paul should be fried, barbequed or turned into a seafood salad or paella.”)

    “Others wanted to throw him into the shark tank,” the paper reported.

    “Nothing beats grilled octopus,” said Dolores Lusch, a Germany fan who works on a Berlin fish stall. “Cut him up in thin slices and grill him on all sides with a dash of lemon juice, olive oil and garlic on it. Delicious!”

    “Throw him in the frying pan,” wrote the Berliner Kurier newspaper in a popular sentiment echoed by Die Welt, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, the Hamburger Abendblatt and other newspapers.

    what a heartless criminals.. they deserve loosing :@ Paul knows them better that's why he disappointed them :D :P
