Guess who is the star celebrity of the FIFA World Cup 2010.No it's not Cristiano Ronaldo,nay it's not Wayne Rooney, it's not Kaka either.
Netziens presenting the star who has taken the world by a storm - "Paul" the Octopus.Resident of Aquarium Sea Life Centre at Oberhausen,Germany this 2.5 year old hasgrabbed eye balls ever since it has given accurate predictions of 6 matches involving Germany.

Paul has been involved in predicting the results of matches ever since the Euro 2008football championship.It boasts a previous record of predictiong 4 correct results outof 6 matches in the Euro championship.

So how is the prediction process done?The octopus is offered the choice of two glass boxes containing a mussel.Flags of competingsides are placed on the containers.It was noted everytime the team that Paul's tentaclestouched first went to win their match.
Paul's accurate predictions in this world cup has landed him in trouble.The angered German fans have threatened to put him on dinner menu.
                                                  
Did a bit of googling and found Octopus is quite a delicacy in many parts of the world.A 3 ounced portion of cooked octopus contains 139 calories,vitamins B3,B12,potassium,phosphorus and selenium.Used as one of the ingredient in the japanese delicacy dish "sushi".

Even as i write this post,the psychic octopus has predicted that Spain will win the world cup.Also predicted Germany will secure a third place by beating Uraguay.Well done chap,right or wrong u have saved yourself from being barbaqued by the Germans.
