R.I.P "Paul the Octopus"

Everyone loves their pets, but no one can say they are phsyic. During the Euro Cup 2008, a humorous attempt was made to have an octopus predict the outcome of the games that Germany participated in. It guessed all but two of them right. People were shocked! After all, that is a very unlikely coincidence. Recently, the Octopus was called back into action for the World Cup. Same as before, two boxes were placed for the creature, and both had food in them. The octopus would choose just one. During the World Cup, the octopus was not wrong. Not even once. He correctly predicted every Germany game, followed by selecting the winner of the final, Spain. Spain won. Everyone was puzzled. Call it coincidence or mystery, it is a great story. However, it does not have a happy ending. The octopus recently died under the age of 3. Soccer fans never thought they would be so concerned over the death of an octopus.
