i can't believe it, the aquatic god has died much younger than anyone had expected. did he predict it? was it his last prediction? nobody will know.

RIP, Paul. we will miss you and your otherworldly predictions.

I remember reading after Paul had predicted another correct score, about some comedian from the losing teams country who actually got an octopus like Paul and put the live creature into a blender to show his anger towards Paul for picking the right winners.

Paul had a good life.

Saw it on the news just there, when I found out about his consistency I made loads of money from his predictions, hopefully he got England winning 2018 wrong though.

According to Wikipedia, he was an octopus who correctly predicting the winner of Germany's seven matches at the 2010 World Cup, as well as the final. I never heard of him either until today when he was confirmed as a meme on KnowYourMeme.

Goes to show that only those with exceptional skill are missed by a considerable number of people for a long time when they pass away.
