[NorthernUnion]

The seashell on the World Cup was placced over the Russian part and Paul took it. It's mean, Russia will be in the future world champion in football!!!

[GoodChineezeCheeze]

@NorthernUnion 4 sure

[stonewindimmortal]

Tentacle rape Germany

[kubaner]

It's very interesting to watch it camouflage with the trophy slightly (called Octocamo found in Metal Gear 4: Guns of The Patriots).

[Tressco]

"Mai preschuss!

Wer ar zem bitsches at...?!"

[angelusp777]

he made 3 predictions, he had 1/8 probabilty of winning and he won, now he runs.

[CRAKIZGOOD]

i would pay 1000000 to eat him

[Tressco]

Nom Paul 2010!

[solojam]

put a female octopus in there and watch it mess up his game....

[VoIPpoetry]

Release the Kraken!

This was a psy op.

Paul represents the stranglehold the New World Order has on all events.

He's never wrong. I'd buy this thing and win big on sports betting like that guy in BackToTheFuture.

[gud1272]

@VoIPpoetry you mean biff as an old dude

[yechaowei]

It's Jesus...

[potblack2win]

they do say octopus have many brains

[jamarsano]

I feel like we should all pass the hat around for a gold watch - or rather, eight watches - one for each tentacle, or correct prediction!

[TheRivoluzione]

Cest incroyable quil a bien predit le grand gagnant de la coupe de Monde 2010. Il merite ainsi lui-aussi la coupe. Bravo.

[eliden]

GIVE IT 2 FEMALE PLAYMATES AND A BIGGER TANK!

[miragebird]

@eliden

Paul: oracle by day, octopimp by night.

[Meghann25]

Paul est vraiment une bouffée de fraîcheur dans ce mondial somme toute ennuyeux. Comment ne pas sourire dès que ce poulpe pronostiquait les matchs ? Dommage que l'Argentine ait un comportement ignoble envers lui. C'est un jeu, ce n'est pas lui sur le terrain qui joue. En tout cas, je le trouve trop mignon avec sa coupe du monde !

[Goldrag]

Ktulhu ftang!

[sidheartraja]

let's maybe ask paul about something more important like: when will nuclear fusion be controlled? will we be a peaceful humanity by 2050 or 2100? will climate change kill us? who will unify humanity?

[migueldELLO]

@sidheartraja or cut or uncut ?

[Saffiros]

@sidheartraja

ha ha ha,,, good idea to ask Paul these questions, maybe this weird creature of the ocean deeps is actually the reincarnation of Gandalf or the Buddha

[Runesocesius]

@sidheartraja The answer is Germany, Germany, Russia, Slovenia and Germany.

[iamface3]

congratulation!!!! but too many stuffs in tank that is so crowded. poor paul

[gud1272]

@iamface3 octpus enjoy that kid of enviroment it gives them many places to hide and fell secure

[gloomren]

first knut the ice bear and know germany's next animal attraction: paul =P guess paul means a lot of money yet

[jack0vps]

Paul, what will happen in 2012? Tell me before i kill you.

[ZClipze]

We need more predictions Paul!!!!! Paullelujah

[AnaxagorasLive]

duh...wat else is he gonna predict? when its gonna rain?....world cup is over and so his his job....btw PAUL was awesome!!!!

[Spetsnazcollector]

@ShanDWijesinghe always nice to get such lovely comments. Look who's talking.

[MopacMurtaza]

@Danboy5050

Yes and Elvis would still be alive if he wasnt genetically raised to handle heart attacks :-D

Lets not speculate and just focus on the facts, 8/8 games predicted correct, thats the facts :)

[Spetsnazcollector]

There were shells for him in each box with a flag on it. He simply choose the box (and therefore the country) whose shells smelled better. Easy to manipulate. It's a funny thing, though.

[MopacMurtaza]

@Spetsnazcollector

Thats funny, cause if you are implying that the animals keepers knew that Germany would loose to a little country like Serbia, and win over Argentina the favorites, and bet against their own country in the Germany vs Spain game, the keepers are suddenly psychic :-D 

[Spetsnazcollector]

@MopacMurtaza I just say what some experts said, I'm not an expert by myself. But who ever was the real predictor, he was either lucky or psychic, that's true^^

[MopacMurtaza]

@Spetsnazcollector

Ok but judging from the reaction of the animals keeper after Paul made the prediction that Spain would win over Germany, where She said that Paul was outright wrong and couldnt distinguish the flags, i highly doubt that they planned it.

[Spetsnazcollector]

@MopacMurtaza Maybe... Well, it's a nice and cute phenomenon, period^^ No matter if he's psychic or not, it's funny. Have a nice day!

[Nitrorus]

\>that Germany would loose to a little country like Serbia

In football world Yugoslavia/Serbia never wasn't a small country. It is die hard team, not super star, but shows very good football. But I agrre with you in the rest. It is also great, if it was not Paul's, but keepers choice. If he is able to predict 6 of 6 results, he is probably new Nostradamus. :-)

[orf32]

I wonder if they had to put food on the ball like they did the world cup?

[Scarecrow0089]

What a beautiful and benevolent animal.

[Bac8ardi]

yam yam fried octopus 

[kightzeareau]

sweet. posted in the hundreds. The legend of the 2010 world cup soothsayer Paul will last till the end of time. haha

[Sylar0009]

OMG, Paul is gonna pay for my college fees , now what?

[dilliot2k]

octopussy

[88arau]

What a monumental waste of time and money

[1madaboutguitar]

If you needed anymore proof that betting is for suckers....

[MopacMurtaza]

@1madaboutguitar

Says the sucker who didnt make any money on Paul :-D

[gringodeltoro1]

When squids become more clever than people...

[MopacMurtaza]

WOW I am impressed out of 7 games predicted NONE were wrong!!!!!!!!!!

OMG he is an oracle!!

I made $50 on Paul, thank you :-)

[GodOfTheInternets]

@MopacMurtaza

The trick is fairly simple, octopuses are appealed to bright colors (i.e. red and yellow) so he goes after the flags with the brightest colors, usually this was Germany, but at the last two games it was Spain. And it is of course a coincidence that the teams with the brightest colors also happened to be the best two teams in the world cup.

[JuanMacready]

They should eat him for causing Germany to lose.

[Wylff]

@GodOfTheInternets Sooo, the brighest color wins? My god, if I only hade know.

[atzonke]

@GodOfTheInternets : dont you know that octopuses are colour blind?????

[Rank000]

@GodOfTheInternets what about Serbia vs. Germany? :-) what do you say on that?

[atzonke]

@GodOfTheInternets : dont you know that octopus are colour blind???

[GodOfTheInternets]

@atzonke

Exactly, because of this the octopus only sees the brightest colors, again red and yellow whereas flags like the netherlands the octopus merely sees one bright strip.

[MopacMurtaza]

@GodOfTheInternets

I would have agreed with you, if it was not for the fact that this octopus specie is color blind :-)

[cosmicguerilla1]

Octopus oracle

rock on !

you picked the best team to win

[smasila]

The real champ of the world cup!
