2010 World Cup's Picky Octopus
Paul, the so-called octopus oracle, sits on a soccer ball in his tank at the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany. The octopus has seemingly had a tentacle on the pulse of the tournament, becoming a global sensation after correctly picking all six results for the German team -- including a stunning first-round defeat against Serbia and the semifinal loss to Spain. Paul on Friday predicted a Spanish win over the Dutch team in Sunday's final. He also foretold a German win in Saturday's third-place match against Uruguay.
