Paul (the psychic octopus) was right!

[randomness]

From the Telegraph:

Germany have been dealt a 'massive' blow to their World Cup chances after the psychic octopus, Paul, picked Spain to win their semi-final clash.

Paul has predicted all of Germany's World Cup results correctly so far, including wins against England and Argentina.

Paul even said that Serbia would beat Germany 1-0 in the group stage.

The handlers of the psychic octopus at Aquarium Sea Life in Oberhausen encourage Paul to make the predictions by putting mussels into two glass cubes, with each cube having one of the nation's flags on the front.
The mussel Paul chooses first is taken to be its prediction.

Well, he called it. Spain 1, Germany 0.

They named the octopus Paul? What a silly name for an octopus.

(Paul is a perfectly good name. It's not what I'd name an octopus. Just sayin'.)

Love the concept of a psychic octopus though.
