The World Cup and all the fanfare that surround it is truly an amazing experience. Perhaps the strangers thing is that several zoo and aquariums in Germany have been asking their animal to make prediction for the German. So far, Paul, the octopus, who lives in Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany has distinguish "himself" by correctly predicting all the outcome's for the Germany matches.
The two years old octopus oracle were born in England but raised in Oberhausen, Germany. Paul makes his predictions by choosing between the two transparent cubes that are marked with the German flag and the national flag of their opponent. The container that Paul chooses indicate Paul prediction for the winner the upcoming game.
"For the European Championship in 2008 Paul had a success rate of more than 80 percent for the German games," stated Tanja Munzig, a spokeswoman for Sea Life in Oberhausen in western Germany where the eight-legged oracle lives.
Paul prediction have been 100% accurate in the World Cup. He has already predicted Germany over Ghana, Australia, England and Argentina. He also choose Serbia, the underdog to be over Germany.
