Football is the world’s most loved sport and everything related to it is considered special. Early in 2010 the air was full of gossips and predictions about the World Cup and one psychic soul predicted the cup very well. Yes we are talking about Paul the psychic Octopus.
Paul’s efficiency remained 100 % throughout the World Cup. He predicted results of 8 matches in 2010 World Cup and everything went according to his predictions. Paul the German octopus living in an aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany at Sea life centre and became famous when he forecasted and concluded, Spain as the victor of the semi final against his home team Germany. He predicted seven matches for his home team Germany including the semi final. After that Paul predicted and declared Spain as the world champion in the final of the World Cup and all his guesses came true. It was the cephalopod’s prediction which made him a hero in the country of the football world champions. Moreover he is getting famous beyond comparison these days.
The well-known iphone company has introduced an iOS application of Paul in it. This application will predict the future and this time its prediction will not be just on football but for anything a user can desire. This iPhone application is bringing new glorious fame to the well known celebrity Octopus. Now the Spain’s richest and capital city is keenly interested to welcome and honour their new national hero, “Paul”. For that the Madrid Zoo Aquarium has offered a matchless bid. On Tuesday the Madrid Zoo aquarium announced on their blog that they have made compulsory measures for psychic octopus’s transfer and have offered a price of Paul’s caretaker’s choice. Spanish zoo keepers added that they are ready to exchange other animals as well for Paul as he is also a World Cup winner and we will take best care of his reputation and his health.
On the other hand staff at Oberhausen Germany has announced Paul’s retirement from predictions and announced that they were actually undertaking offers from all over the world. However later Germany announced that there is no chance for Paul being purchased which is obviously not encouraging news for Madrid’s zoo keepers and for Spanish fans of Paul. The Octopus is already an honorary citizen of Spain. Sadly Paul is not moving to Spain and that might discourage the Spanish fans high hopes of seeing Paul in the aquarium of Madrid zoo.
Oberhausen has announced that they are very well aware of Paul’s reputation and it is the best for English born German Octopus Paul to stay where he is. Adding to that Paul’s owners expressed that Paul is one in a million and that they will do their best to keep his market stable. Paul the psychic Octopus has the worth and capacity to be the first millionaire Octopus of the world but it depends on its care takers to utilize the market of octopus’s and fame in a right manner.
