| Si Paul Dgn Labu2 Nyer.. |
FRANKFURT, Germany -- A German news agency says the octopus that gained worldwide fame by correctly predicting World Cup results has died.
German news agency dapd says the death of Paul the Octopus was announced by the aquarium in Oberhausen.
Paul correctly predicted the results of all games involving Germany at this past summer's tournament in South Africa, and also picked Spain to win the final over the Netherlands.
The octopus would select teams by choosing a food item from one of two boxes emblazoned with the respective countries' flags. He was given a replica World Cup trophy, garnished with three mussels, for his efforts.
Stefan Porwoll, manager of the Oberhausen Sea Life Center in Germany that housed Paul, said: "We are consoled by the knowledge that he enjoyed a good life here and that the care provided him by our dedicated displays team could not have been bettered.
"His success made him almost a bigger story than the World Cup itself. We may decide to give Paul his own small burial plot within our grounds and erect a modest permanent shrine.
"While this may seem a curious thing to do for a sea creature, Paul achieved such popularity during his short life that it may be deemed the most appropriate course of action."
Huhuhu..sedihnyer!! Telah pergi si Paul penghibur dan penilik dalam dunia bola sepak!! Tak tau nak cakap apa dah..cuma berkabung!!
(yerker..ekekekeke!! GUMBIRA adalah..takde lagi orang nak betting2 dah..wakakakka!!) Sory Paul..RIP!! :p
