What a lovely creature. I can't believe it/he can actually predict the winner of a particular soccer game! As weird as it sounds, it/he predicted that Spain would beat Germany in last night's game. The prediction came out a couple of days before the match, so Germany would've psyched themselves to not believe a silly octopus' preferred box/morsel, especially since the octopus actually belongs to the Germans. Still... a 1-0 game where the goal was scored in the 70-something minute must have crushed the Germans something chronic.
If you've not seen how it/he chooses the winner, go Google it. I'm sure 'paul the octopus' is going to be a number one hit on Google this week.
Anyways, not that the morsel in that particular box is yummier than the other, I think it/he is just attracted to the colours of the flags. It/he correctly predicted the games which Germany won in order to get to this semi-finals stage, so why not the winner. I wonder if they'll get it/him to predict the ultimate World Cup winner.
