Psychic Octopus To Predict World Cup 2010 Champion – The two-year-old octopus has become an international celebrity for its amazing psychic powers. The cephalopod was named Paul. He is due to predict who will win Saturday’s match between Germany and Uruguay as well as the most awaited Sunday’s World Cup final in South Africa.

Paul is from the Sea Life Aquarium in the western German city of Oberhausen. He has so far correctly predicted all of Germany’s World Cup games, even the shock defeat by Serbia in the group stages and the ousting by Spain.

He predicts by choosing a mussel from one of the two boxes with the flags of the competing nations. His prognosis of Wednesday’s World Cup semi-final was broadcast live around the world.

However, his record is not perfect says his owners. Paul got it wrong in about 30% of Germany’s games during the 2008 European Championship.
