I am not a World Cup fans umm it's like NO NO ,seriously idk what's happening in the FIFA World Cup 2010.All i knew was the theme songs all playing in the radio and those are the latest songs i've been listening for all this while..Well,i came across to my friend's bloghttp://www.jcyeoh.blogspot.com/ were talking about an octopus which is related to the Fifa World Cup.I don't know this was really true or anything. So i am SO-CALLED SO FREE after class right now go google about the PAUL THE OCTOPUS.Well,i was shocked a lil about this issue.
Paul ..a nice name for an octopus,so, he could predict the winner of the soccer match.That's really not a usual and normal thing obviously.You see,even human also using smart guess only or always keep track with the player's and coach's technique to predict which country can be the winner of the match.BUT,an octopus can be so AWESOME♥ or somehow intelligent ? or having six sense? i seriously can't make assumptions about it.
Alright,let's make it easier to understand by ( Wikipedia )
1) Who is PAUL? an OCTOPUS? HUH?Who's that? *for people like me just only knew about this LOLS*
-Paul the Octopus is a common octopus who lives in the Sea Life public aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany. Paul, who is sometimes called a "psychic octopus" or "oracle octopus," is famous for his alleged ability to correctly predict the winner of matches in which the German national football team is playing: so far he has managed it 11 out of 12 times.
Paul is able to make his predictions courtesy of Oliver Walenciak and his staff.[3] Two clear plastic boxes containing food (usually mussels or oysters) are lowered down into the aquarium's tank. The boxes have the flags of two countries attached to them, one of Germany, and one of their next opponent. The container selected by the hungry octopus is assumed to be the predicted winner.
According to entertainment director Daniel Fey, Paul showed his intelligence early on: "There was something about the way he looked at our visitors when they came close to the tank. It was so unusual, so we tried to find out what his special talents were." The first time Paul was tried was during UEFA Euro 2008.[4] He was correct in 80% of the predictions he made, but he was wrong in his prediction of the winner of the final match, which was Germany versus Spain. Paul predicted Germany's win but Spain was the eventual winner.
