Psychic Octopus Picks World Cup Winners
The future of the World Cup winners rests with a two year old “psychic” octopus,” at the Oberhausen Sea Life Aquarium who, it’s owners say has a record of predicting past German results in this manner. According to the octopus, Germany is slated to win, knocking England out of the World Cup. When consulted, Paul the octopus chose a mussel from a jar with the German flag on it ahead of one in a similar jar bearing the cross of St George.
Apparently, Paul has so far correctly predicted all of Germany’s results in South Africa, and his keepers say he correctly predicted nearly 70% of Germany’s results during the 2008 European Championship. [Via]
