Octopus retired!

[texaschamp]

One of the biggest names in this world cup wasn't of a soccer guy but of an octopus.
Most people would of heard of Paul Octopus. Funnily enough the Germans were ready to eat the octpus when it predicted they would lose and they did.
After these threats the owners of the octopus have said that the octopus will retire

Hi

Paul the Octopus became famous when he predicted with 100% accuracy the winner of Germany's seven matches at the World Cup, as well as Spain's win for the final. He makes his divinations by being presented with two boxes containing a mussel (apparently, an octopus treat as well as a human one). Each box is marked with the flag of a national football team in an upcoming match and whichever box he chooses is the team that would win.

Thanks
