It turns out that the world cup is not a real contest because the results are pre-ordained by Paul the Psychic Octopus:
Apparently he has never been wrong.
Anyway, don't cancel anything to watch the finale today because Spain's gonna win.

He was wrong once during the EM. I think he has a better predicting method than anything else and I don't think he has been wrong yet during this WM.
ReplyDeleteSome people think its not predicting so much as controlling...
I saw that on the news!! How on earth did an octopus get this job in the first place! Was the groundhog from Ground Hog day busy? Lol!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness.. they'll be reading tea leaves next!
ReplyDeleteI will be shunning The Hoff, in favor of the octopus.
ReplyDeleteThis oughta be interesting!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing is that the "crawl" underneath the octopus refers to a "State of emergency" across 19 provinces." Guess a soccer-predicting octopus takes precedence.
ReplyDeleteI guess the Oracle is still at 100%!
ReplyDeleteYup. Told you so.
ReplyDeleteHe got the Euro 2008 final wrong - 'predicted' Germany would win. It was Spain.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise the tendrilly fellow has a 100% record.
I think octopuses are cool. Was there some sort of soccer contest going on recently?
ReplyDeleteI'll place my bet now.
ReplyDeleteI need to ask him if my husband will ever get a new job. Wonder how much he charges?
ReplyDeleteLots of clams
ReplyDeletePaul has been the real hero of this world cup.All his predictions has been correct in this world cup soccer..including the finale.Wonder what will happen next time.Apparently he won't be predicting anymore.
ReplyDeleteI was flabbergasted by the press this octopus got! Too funny.
ReplyDeletePaul predicted everything correctly this world cup.A lot has been said about him and he got a lot of coverage too.People were more interested in him and his predictions rather than the goings-on of this world cup edition.
