Just to follow up on the Paul the Octopus story, he has “predicted”:http://www.worldcupblog.org/world-cup-2010/paul-the-octopus-gives-the-final-order-get-ready-for-a-spanish-celebration.html a win for Spain, so let’s see if he turns out to be right. They’ve stopped eating octopus in Spain out of respect to Paul.
As a side note, I can’t help thinking that an intelligent octopus could easily fix the oil leak in the Gulf. All it needs is eight strong hands, sensitivity, and knowledge and respect for the ocean, qualities that no one at BP seems to possess.
