Paul has correctly predicted all the German wins and defeats in this World Cup competition so far from his tank in the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany. And in his latest test the eight-legged oracle chose our footballing enemies to win in Bloemfontein even though he was born in Weymouth, England. Two plastic boxes, with the flag of each country on the front had been lowered into his tank. Each contained food inside. The box that Paul opens first is judged to be the predicted winner of the game and this time he picked Germany. He has a 100% success rate for Germany so far in this World Cup competition. "I'm very glad he chose the right one," said Daniel Fey, a spokeman from Sea Life in Oberhausen. "He really strictly marched onto the Germany box and put himself inside. He was 100% sure this time. "Maybe he was ashamed of picking Germany and that is why he put the top of the box down when he was inside." England fans will be hoping Paul is wrong or that he has lulled the Germans into a false sense of security ahead of Sunday's big match.[/quote] What a load of old [i]molluscs.[/i]

it's a german octopus so it's obviously lying to us

I liked Hypnotoad better.

damn. shit just got real.

it's an octopus...it just chose a box at random it doesn't know what it's doing.

Oh my god it picked the right box out of two boxes ITS PSYCHIC

[QUOTE=Kondor58;22919665]well then it's pretty shit at predicting when germany will win[/QUOTE] Nah, pretty sure Germany could fucking annihilate England if it wouldn't have been attacked from multiple directions.

Well, now that all the players know what the prediction is, they'll be worried about it coming true. So they'll be more nervous on the pitch and may possibly make more slip-ups, making this a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sort of like a placebo.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;22920414]wait are we still talking about football[/QUOTE] no, someone said that he thought this was about WW2.

Psychic octopus? What next, a psychic DUCK? :psyduck:

[QUOTE=starpluck;22919656]I thought this was about World War II or some shit.[/QUOTE] Then it knows nothing of history and is wrong, and it's opinion should be ignored totally. Personally I reckon this will be an interesting game.

If Germany loses they'll sell him to the Japanese. Paul's few remaining predictions will be made from a sushi roll.

That thing is repulsive.

Octopus is clearly biased

My rabbit reckons there's gonna be an England goal followed by 2 German goals.

[QUOTE=Kondor58;22919587]it's a german octopus so it's obviously lying to us[/QUOTE] It was born in England.

[QUOTE=RedSauce;22921452]is this really news-worthy[/QUOTE] I've seen lousier news threads while a thread about psychic octopi however definitely peaks my interest.
