Yes I am talking about Paul the psychic Octopus. Spain win the world cup. But heart of the people of the world is won by the octopus Paul. Paul’s efficiency remained 100 % throughout the World Cup. He predicted results of 8 matches in 2010 World Cup. Surprisingly everything went according to his predictions. Paul the German octopus living in an aquarium became famous when he forecast and concluded, Spain as the winner of the semi final against his home team Germany. Earlier Paul the octopus predict seven matches for his home team before semifinal. Spain become world champion on the day of final. But world come to know the result from the prediction of Paul. After prediction there only the formality left behind for the declaration of wold champion. And finally on the final day of the game everything happened according to Paul.
Octopuses generally don't live longer than two years. So we will unable to get the prediction from him during the next World Cup.

it was amazing to know that most of the prediction he made were coming true. Don't know like he knew anything about what soccer is but had a instinct to find out the winners before the game was played.
Again its sad to know that octopus don't live very long. it will be sad to see him go. Lots of people saved their money from betting to the loser team so he's done a good job at both.

Its really amazing even surprising to see most of the prediction of Paul comes true. The process is very simple to identify Paul's prediction. Food is kept in two pot named two team. Paul goes to take food from one of them. Surprisingly team wins the team which pot is selected by the octopus to take food.

there's no link between extra sensory perception and animal instinct, but one thing is for sure, that octopus is one of a kind.
