The pyschic octopus


Paul the psychic octopus lives in Germany and correctly predicted eight consecutive World Cup matches. Imagine a cephalopod that is more accurate than the psychic hotline you have been using. I remember Al Gore made the ridiculous prediction that the ice cap would disappear in 7 years. Perhaps he wouldn't have come off as such a buffoon if he first consulted with Paul. They have a lot in common anyway. Both are squishy blobs of flesh and according to a female masseuse Al fondled her like he had eight arms. Unlike Al, Paul has received over 160 product endorsements. Mostly for underarm deodorant and inkjet printers. Of course there are those who are jealous of his success. World cup losers threatened to cook him, and Iranian President Ahmadingbat claimed Paul spreads "western propaganda and superstition". Like Salmon Rushdie a fatwa has been issued for his death. He is currently in the witness protection program and living in an undisclosed location. But he knew that would happen all along.
