Paul the octopus is dead

[Sockmonkey]

Paul the octopus, who shot to fame predicting the results of World Cup football matches in South Africa, has passed away.

He is said to have died peacefully in his tank at the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany.

The eight-armed 'psychic' correctly predicted the winners of all Germany's World Cup clashes, and then the final.

He did it by selecting one of two boxes, each loaded with a mussel food treat and marked on the outside with one of the teams.
