Alas, Poor Paul (the Octopus)

[3113]

Sea Life Aquarium says that Paul the Octopus who gained worldwide fame with his perfect World Cup predictions has died. He was 2 1/2.

Aquarium spokeswoman Ariane Vieregge in Oberhausen said Tuesday that Paul seemed fine when checked on late Monday night but was found dead in his tank Tuesday morning. She says that it was normal for an octopus of his type to die at that age and that he had died of natural causes.

Paul correctly predicted the outcome of all seven of Germany's games plus Spain's victory over the Netherlands in the final.

I wonder if he passed on his predicting powers to any baby Pauls?

Sad to think he cannot be stuffed . . . .

Have to pull this one again.

That which is dead cannot eternal lie and with strange eons even death may die.

Paul will be back.

Are you suggesting he died for our sins and will be resurrected

I thought the walrus was Paul?

That's right, and Ringo was the one who hung out in the octopus's garden.

So I guess Ringo can't be the octopus...

Could he be the 'Egg man' ?
