Octopus Paul guessed that Spain would win the World Cup 2010 and perhaps was able to anticipate his own death. Paul died last night in his tank in Oberhausen (Germany), according to a Sea Life Aquarium spokesman. Workers and site managers at Sea Life are saddened and distressed.

"To honour Paul’s death and because of the worldwide interest he arouse, we will erect a memorial here. We will present the highlights of Paul's life, the many gifts he have received from around the world and the whole set up that Paul used to predict the results of the games."

Octopus Paul, world famous sports forecaster, was two years, 6 months old.
