Chrissy Bee Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The only notable prediction was the Serbia game. For the rest he just ended up going for the favourites. If there's enough animals in Germany (obviously the home of precognitive cephalopods) trying to predict the results then of course some of them are going to do well by accident.

If there's enough animals in Germany (obviously the home of precognitive cephalopods) trying to predict the results then of course some of them are going to do well by accident. Again, he's just a squid man, I doubt he keeps up with the current balance of power in international football Best thing I can think of is that he tended to go for the German box due to it always being there and him knowing that the food inside was good. That doesn't explain him nailing the defeats but maybe he got confused since the Serb, Spanish and German flags probably look alike if you're color-blind (but then so would Holland and Argentina) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Punters gambling on the mystic mollusc's predictions have won up to half a million pounds during the month-long tournament, according to bookmakers William Hill. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jul/12/paul-psychic-octopus-wins-world-cup Is an octopus a Mollusc? I thought they were part of the cephalopod crew? I thought the same. Apparently they're both. Yeah. Mollusca is the Phylum, cephalopoda the class.
