Octopus who predicted world cup winners has died

Paul, the octopus which successfully predicated the World Cup matches has died. “Paul predicted the winners of all Germany’s World Cup clashes, and then of the final by selecting one of two boxes, each loaded with a mussel food treat and marked on the outside with one of the teams. Staff at the centre said his death was not entirely unexpected, since common octopuses generally only live a couple of years.” If you haven’t seen enough of Paul don’t worry, he is scheduled to appear in a documentary later next year.
