Psychic German Octopus Again Picks Home Team, Argentina Counters With Sooth Sayer Dolphin
Posted by Justin on July 2nd, 2010We’ve covered the antics of the zoo at Oberhausen, Germany before. To recap, they’ve forced all of their animals to make predictions on German national World Cup games. The most accurate is Paul, an octopus who has correctly predicted every outcome, including one German loss.
Like a tentacled love child of Punxsutawney Phil and Jimmy The Greek, Paul arose from his habitat and pontificated another German victory yesterday over Argentina.
BUT WAIT! The Argentines have countered with their own psychic animal, Sayco a dolphin from the port city of Mar del Plata. The mammal made a dramatic leap out of his pool to knock loose a blue and white ball, ignoring a similar sphere colored red, white and yellow.
Paul! Sayco! Which animal is truly diving the whispers of the future and which is just a filthy, water-logged liar?

I enjoy reading about this kind of thing. This is completely new to me, but once I get my head around the many new terms, I find its illuminating things I’ve previously half-thought.
