Paul the Octopus, who rose to prominence for his accurate predictions of Germany's matches, has died.

Said to have been born in January 2008 in Weymouth, England, the octopus predicted the correct result of all but two of Germany's games during Euro 2008, failing to predict the defeats to Croatia and Spain.

At this summer's World Cup, he maintained a 100% record, getting all Germany's results right before opting for Spain to beat Netherlands in the final.

The octopus would select teams by choosing a food item from one of two boxes emblazoned with the respective countries' flags.

Eish R.I.P bud :(
 
So now all World Cup's will have to be cancelled ...
 
I wonder how the aquarium that refused to sell him for the ridiculous amounts of cash they were offered for it feel right about now..
 
/dons tinfoil hat.

Is he really dead or merely retired from public glare :)

Next thing you know people are going to be seeing Paul all over the world!
 
octopus don't live long... 2 years max, wonder if he'd still be good sushi after being so old!
