Spanish soccer fans saw their national team defy most predictions by beating Germany 1-0 in today’s semifinal match up. Little did they know, the Germans had already been defeated long before ever setting foot on the field.
For those unacquainted with the genius that is Paul the Psychic Octopus, he is a German national and undeniably the most clairvoyant cephalopod of our time. With a now overall record of 10 dead-on calls to 1 minor slip-up, Paul accurately predicted the outcome of all 5 of Germany’s world cup matches leading up to the game against Spain, so when he chose to eat the mussels from the box baring the Spanish flag over those from the German-marked one (don’t you dare question his methods) German fans everywhere knew Deutschland was kaput.
So what does the future hold for Paul? Assuming he can escape the wrath of his fellow countrymen, I think The Oracle of Oberhausen should explore his options in the world of finance. I know we could definitely use a stock picking octopus at my firm.
