Title: Soccer Legend Paul the Octopus has Died...
Post by: Nails on October 27, 2010, 03:56:43 PM: Paul the Octopus, who had a 100% success rate picking World Cup soccer games, has passed away.

He picked teams by selecting an object from one of two boxes that had each country's flag decorated on the front.

"His success made him almost a bigger story than the World Cup itself," said Stefan Porwoll of the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany. "We may decide to give Paul his own small burial plot within our grounds and erect a modest permanent shrine. While this may seem a curious thing to do for a sea creature, Paul achieved such popularity during his short life that it may be deemed the most appropriate course of action."

Despite many serious offers, Paul remained an amateur and did not go to work for European bookmakers.

Sad. :(

RIP
