Paul the octopus's predictions still 100% correct as Germany loses to Spain 0-1 - Polidicks

Paul the octopus, a psychic cephalopod at Sea Life in Oberhausen, western Germany, has become a World Cup phenomenon after correctly predicting the victors in all six of Germany's matches. Tuesday's ceremony was carried live on German television. Sea Life staff help Paul make his prediction by lowering two boxes of food into his tank, on e witha German flag and the other bearing that of their opponents. The case he opens first is adjudged to be his predicted winner. The octopus correctly picked that coach Joachim Low's side would beat Ghana and Australia in the group stages -- but also outwitted most professional pundits by predicting Germany's shock 1-0 defeat by Serbia. In the knockout stages, Paul tipped Germany to beat both England and Argentina. But the cephalopod drew cries of despair from assembled watchers Tuesday when, after initially lingering over the box for the German flag, he plumped for the Spanish flag instead. But the octopus only managed an 80 percent success rate in predicting Germany's results at the 2008 European Championships. He also failed to foresee Spain's 1-0 win over Germany in the final. Spain will face the Netherlands Sunday in the World Cup Final.[/release] That fucker is smart.

[QUOTE=Mikesword221;23189196]Quick! Which country has he chosen next![/QUOTE] yea where and when can we see this? why do we always read this news after the match is done.

[QUOTE=Ryenoru;23188827]6 in a row has to be more than luck.[/QUOTE] That's a probability of (1/2)^6, about 1.6 percent. Only slightly more improbable than guessing the right card out of a deck.

It's actually a spawn of Cthulhu. It has seen the future and beheld only madness. Also, Germany beating Uruguay.

I'm just hoping Spain can score more than one Goal during the Finals

I want a live feed of his next prediction.
