Paul, the "psychic" octopus, has died.

Sad news for the prognostication community, one of the most successful predictors since Nostrodamus has died. Paul, the "psychic" octopus.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20101026...fbeatfblwc2010

He shall be remembered warmly for his brilliant run during the 2010 South African World Cup, going 8-0 on predictions, which garnered him fame, a facebook page and a place in the annals of history.

His final prediction was reportedly: Octopi are delicious.

He was right.

Also, he was more important than Justin Bieber.

Oh no, not Paul! Now who's gonna guess soccer results and awe us at the same time?! We need another animal psychic that isn't a dog or a cat!

Who isn't nowadays? Oh wait, Mike Posner isn't, because everybody is cooler than him. Posner said it himself!

Marlboro · 10-26-2010, 12:56 PM

''You think you're cooler than me'', lol.

Anyway, Posner didn't say everyone is cooler than him, just that person.

"You" can be singular or plural. And since he's looking at the camera the whole damn time, you=the viewer. Therefore everybody's cooler than him!

Back on topic, they say they'll make a shrine for him. I just hope the shrine has the right procedures to avoid naughty tentacles :P

^Unless Japan decide to make a Paul shrine in Tokyo

Sensei-Q · 10-26-2010, 07:17 PM

Paul's death is unfortunate.

KillerNN · 10-26-2010, 07:19 PM

He would make some awesome ass whatever the fuck Octopus is called when it is eaten.

kael03 · 10-26-2010, 07:24 PM

Give him a proper funeral...

Toss him on the ice at a Red Wings game >_>

Poor Paul, what did the poor thing do to be thrown at a Red Wings game?

Give the octopus to Hugo Chavez, maybe he'll finally shut up like Rey Carlos' always wanted.

ACt · 10-26-2010, 09:00 PM

Sorry Kael... he picked the Penguins.

So much hate...

ACt · 10-26-2010, 09:43 PM

Sorry? I was distracted by how much the Red Wings suck.

kael03 · 10-26-2010, 09:46 PM

5-1 compared to 5-3 sucks? And how many titles do the Penguins have? Is it 11?

ACt · 10-26-2010, 10:09 PM

Meh. All I know is that Toronto has 13. Your move.

inb4 1967.

kael03 · 10-26-2010, 10:16 PM

And when was the last time they won the title? Oh wait...that was 43 years ago.
