Ada Apa Dengan Paul The Octopus???


An Octopus in Germany is stunning soccer fans around the world with his remarkable ability to predict the outcome of German World Cup games. Paul, a mollusk in Oberhausen, has correctly picked the result of all three German games so far. Most recently, the savvy octopus foresaw that Germany would edge Ghana to advance to the tournament's knockout stage, according to Sky News.
The prized prophet informs humans of his prediction by choosing between two boxes, each containing a delicious snack and decorated with a World Cup country's flag. Paul correctly picked Germany to
conquer Australia in their first game, and he even called Serbia's shocking upset against the Germans.
The sea-bound seer faces a unique challenge for his next selection. Paul was born in England, Germany's next opponent, and thus has deep allegiances to each team.
After Germany's heartbreaking 1-0 defeat to Spain in the World Cup semi-final, angry German fans are calling to kill Paul, the psychic octopus, who had predicted that Spain would win the do-or-die clash. German fans had been praying that the two-year-old octopus, who was born in Britain and later moved to the German aquarium in Oberhausen, had made a mistake when he chose the Spaniards to triumph. Some sections of the crowd were also singing anti-octopus songs. According to a local newspaper, there have been "a host of comments on Facebook, Twitter ... suggesting Paul should be fried, barbecued or turned into a seafood salad or paella". Hahaha...begitulah nasib si sotong yang bernama Paul...hmmm...kesian sungguh kat si Paul nie...Apa-apa pun sebagai seorang muslim tidak bolehlah terlalu taksub dengan kepercayaan ini.. Juz for fun..ok la... ;-)
