Boycie Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Paul the octopus, an unlikely star of the 2010 World Cup who 'predicted' the outcome of eight matches, has died at an aquarium in Germany. Staff at the Sea Life centre in Oberhausen said they were "devastated" to learn that he had passed away during the night. Paul made his name by successfully choosing a mussel from one of two boxes bearing the flags of competing nations. Octopuses rarely live beyond two years so his death was not unexpected. "We are consoled by the knowledge that he enjoyed a good life†Stefan Porwoll Manager, Oberhausen Sea Life centre Paul backs England World Cup bid Paul was two-and-a-half years old and had been hatched at another centre at Weymouth in England in 2008.

RamNut Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 "Amid the euphoria, he was even made an honorary citizen of a Spanish town before being made an ambassador for England's 2018 World Cup bid". There goes our World Cup bid....:eek: Unless...... we could use him as the bag to put the balls in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
