“Oh nein” dear Octopus!

Can it be that Paul, the octopus was right? Spain wins against Germany 1:0 and Paul will learn that Spaniards love to eat FRIED SEAFOOD!
Paul, the octopus from Oberhausen Germany has had a 100% correct prediction rate of the Soccer World Cup’s results so far. But now he is shocking Germany, because he “predicted” Spain will prevail over Germany. His “technique” is that he picks the food out of either of two boxes , each box marked with a different country’s flag. By eating the food in one box before the other, Paul effectively “predicts” the outcome of these countries’ soccer match.
During this soccer World Cup the English-born sea creature was correct, even predicting the 4:1 defeat of England in the Germany vs. England game.
Still there is hope, because during the 2008 European Championships Paul the octopus was only 80% correct. And if all else fails, have your scissors ready, because an immediate remedy is to simply cut the black from black, red and gold and voilà a German flag turns into a Spanish one.
