Visionary Mollusk, Scourge To Bookies: Paul The Octopus Dies
Posted by Editor on October 26th, 2010
We spent quite a bit of time during the World Cup discussing Paul the Octopus. The tentacled critter, who from the watery confines of his tank at a German zoo correctly predicted all of his home country’s games as well as the final. He became an international phenomenon.
Now: he’s dead.
After living a too-short two and a half years, Paul passed on.
We offer the customary Weird Things 21 Han Solo blaster salute to a being that understood the only way to make an international soccer competition better is to have an octopus possibly fixing games with mind control.
