It is not surprising anymore. Read the article at this link to know....
http://in.yfittopostblog.com/2010/07/09/the-secret-behind-octopus-paul/
I have stumbled upon this blog .. where the psychic nature of pets is discussed. there are further interesting links included. ONE who wishes to understand the reason behind the wonderfully intelligent OCTOPUS ... for predicting the result of soccer teams... with over 80% success rate ... could read this.
and, it is not surprising anymore, now that we understand that the processing of information is done in a different way. Not unlike a human brain, an octopus is evolved in a different situation. In the deep blue ocean. so.. you cannot claim the octopus to be having any comparable IQ .. to that of us, humans.
Read the article. or, you could comment even without reading that.. based on my opinion, which I feel is the truth behind .. OCTOPUS PAUL and its predictions.

dear jotomy, and star ....
the prediction made by paul .. will not be accepted to be psychics.. even by scientists. BECAUSE, .. all that is being done is....
" they are lowering two boxes of FOOD, and in each box, they are putting the flags of the country that they want to know the result of" .... and, this OCTOPUS, in search of food, wrenches open one of the boxes, and then, .. they are claiming the result to be psychic.
alas.. today, fortune telling is so dirty and, engineered.

Ho Jotomy: Yeah, poor Paul. I can't beleive the way people can act. I mean, this sounds stupid for me: we are in the 21st century and people are beleiving in the psichic powers of an octopus . What's even worse is that most of the people that are talking about this powers and have faith on the octopus are well educated people. It seems that we still beleive in myths. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

CT,
Well, the octopus may be highly intelligent, it is also equally highly curious but they are no psychic.
I have been reading its news and have to applaud Paul's owners for their successful theatrics here. Paul is indeed highly intelligent and with his soccer loving owners operating behind the scene - it will also have the right picks for the soccer matches, which explains that one wrong pick in Euro 2008.
Fancy people falling for it and using his picks to bet!! I hope all of you would realize and remember that soccer was never played underwater and never will be.

sky, .. and, star..
as I have said in other responses too... I don't wish to ACKNOWLEDGE that this particular OCTOPUS PAUL, or his brother .. to be psychics. And, though it is agreed now that they do have jelly brains, which have been evolved in different circumstances, with a different exposure .. due to being in the deeps of ocean, ..
they can never be adjudged, with the TWO OPTIONS. .. one should try out giving a choice to select from over 10 options, and then call the results.
thanks for allowing me!

Hi sky success: I totally agree with your final statement. Soccer was never played underwater and never will be . The fact that octopuses woul be very intelligent animals, didn't mean that they have the ability to predict the future and I think jus as you do, that it's very probably that Paul's owners teach the octopus to chose the right team. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Paul is surely a popular celebrity nowadays. I find the predictions to be very interesting though I don't believe in them. One of our friends have started a discussion about this particular parrot choosing Netherlands as a winner instead. So, let's see who finally takes the crown. Whatever it is, I think it all boils down to the teams mindsets and hard work plus strategy. Can't wait for the final match.:-)

zed.. thanks again. I do believe in the para normal, and try to understand the subject, through reading and talking with those who practice the psychic skills.
but, I never bother to know the future. of anything. .. .
and, I do consider the existence of GHOSTS and the spiritual beings. I don't wish to call them ghosts though.

thanks zed. you are very correct about the mind-set, and the actual field game. If it is predicted, and it comes out to be correct.. very good. .. BUT, why bother? ..
predictions are for the poor and weakly minded. But, don't you agree with the para-normal? .. future prediction is just one off-shoot of the paranormal, and psychic behavior of certain pets, and certain species.
jelly-brains, is supposedly doing well .. the PAUL and his brother, octopuses .. what is the plural of octopus?

Ha, oh yeah..I was thinking about that too, don't think there is a plural for octopus hehe. I'm on you regarding predictions..for me, at least, predictions may destroy many tangible things. I hope the octopus won't be used for when the end of the world will be. Because I don't believe in predictions at all. Paranormal can perhaps be associated with this subject too. Do you believe that ghosts exist? By the way, you are welcome..

Good morning CT! What happened, beautiful wifey doesnt want you around like an octopus? She must be getting psychic!
I think it is pure accident that our 8 limbed friend succeeded or supposedly succeeded in predicting. I think perfect prediction comes with what is brain and heart forming some link somewhere outside through ionic and cosmic forces I guess. So feelings have to be there I guess. :) I have predicted some.. and I succeeded equal number of times... and I know I am not psychic... and I actually always had intense need to console or intense fear at the time I made such predictions! I believe it can happen to anybody, nobody is chosen. People who are more sensitive than others may find it easier to identify such cosmic connections rather ionic links or ionic routes! Thats just a theory.

you think? ... how surprising this morning.
since when did you start thinking? .. I should be reporting this to our plumber Mario. ..
------------------------
and, as you have thought, .. our 9 limbed ( is it only 8? .. i thought there should be another secret limb for this PAUL ) ... and, shared that you too have predicted successfully sometimes, I would like to remind you of the PROBABILITY theory. BUT, YOU seem to be agreeing on the cosmic connections.. so, you are supporting the PARA NORMAL?
if it is the choice between YES and a NO.. our results will be mostly correct. the error will be so negligible.. ..
your theory needs to be sent to the ROYAL SOCIETY of LONDON, for further research.

Aunt, I'd have to go with you on this one too. I believe the predictions are coincidental in nature. That's my thought on this.

Not really fair to call she ruined me - nobody can do that except we ourselves - but she did bad mouth me a lot - made me out to be somebody who was jealous and so my bad eyes had killed that man because they were well off! Boooooooo. Today she is beind me for money even though she and her kids are well off! I am in the least concerned about money except to the extent that it is necessary for my food clothing shelter and medicine, and something reasonable for the person who looks after me. :) She had it so wrong!!!
And my theory is - we - our thoughts and whatever we are - are made of elements which form compounds and ions constantly. I move with good people the ions get oriented like that, I move with bad people, the ions get oriented like that. Thought patterns change may be! This leads to certain behavior. Such connection can be made through nature as well. Why do you feel good when you take fresh air in the morning! There are simply no bad thoughts around!!! As the day progresses some disturbing ions come into atmosphere and the heat of the sun makes it possible for reactions making the same solitude uncomfortable for us. We feel good even within our homes in the mornings - and we are not suffering sun there! Anyway cosmic energy or gravitation forces of sun and other planets have to be there to hold balls like earth, mars, jupiter etc. in place! And they are not exactly pin point enery like a branch of the tree that holds the fruit. So yes they do pass through us! We dont understand it as yet. I believe there is a logical stuff there. But what is on as of now is gamble of predictions including mine. In the meanwhile I feet great when god honors my good wishes for others. :)

Hi consult trainer: I agree with you in the fact that, octopuses must be very intelligent animals. Actually, I didn't know all the information about these animals, but I sincerely don't see a relationship between their behaviours and a soccer match prediction. I mean, if a team plays better than the other one, they have to win, it has nothing to be with the octopuse's predictions. Thanks for starting this interesting discussion. Have a nice day.

well, I feel honored to share my views with all these learned members of mylot. and, para normal is one great subject, which needs to be probed and analysed truly.
these days, fortune telling is a great money-spinner, and truly a good vocation to pursue. I wish, I had done the basic schooling in this subject, rather than study the sturdy books of medicine.

If you check the history, almost all the famous and the infamous had their own predictions and astrologers, future predictions, and all.
even HITLER had his friend.. I don't want to give out names.. BUT, after the SECRET police used this PSYCHIC for their own advantage, using his name for doing all the stuff, this psychic lost interest, and was also put in the concentration camps. ...
Thanks for the answer, but the octopus is still swimming( read that as rocking) ...

Hi Memnom: I can also tell you that here in my country, there was a political scandal because a psychic was working for the government and they paid him with our money for his "special services". Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Hi again consul trainer: I have a better psychic: my best friend. She always tells me who is not going to win. First she was supporting Brazil and Brazil losts, then she supports Argentina and Argentina lost. Now she is supporting Spain so I think Netherlands will win. Lol. Thanks for your answer.
