A Freaky Oracle

In the mid of world cup suddenly the world’s attention is drawn to an octopus. This is not an ordinary Octopus the big news channels like BBC and the CNN reports an oracle octopus. In the advancement of technology the superstition among the people has also advanced. The West who looks down to the East and tells us that we are people who are clutched by superstition who worship animals and plants has started to believe a sea monster.

The final match of the FIFA World Cup 2010 will be played today between Spain and Netherlands. Spain and Holland have been left behind and only thing that’s catching media attention is the prediction of the Oracle - Paul the psychic Octopus. This creature has not made a single mistake since the very beginning of the World cup.

Who hell is this octopus from where has he come to predict and destroy the suspense. On the Wikipedia page he is being described as nothing but a common octopus hatched from an egg at the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth, England and then relocated to a tank at a Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany. His name was derived from the title of a poem in a children’s poetry book in Germany, written by Boy Lornsen.

Tell it a psychic or tell it a co-incidence this octopus has predicted almost all the result correctly 11 out of 13 for an animal the success rate is really high I believe. For an instance the octopus has shifted from Germany box to Uruguay box and finally to Germany box in the match between Germany and Uruguay.

According to Sea Life's entertainment director, Daniel Fey, Paul demonstrated intelligence early in life so they decided that they had to find out what his special talents were. The rest, as they say, is history.

Trust me....this Oracle guy is too much for my little head J
