“Magic 8-Ball of the Sea”
While I was wrapped up with Plush Week, the rest of the ceph-blogging community was talking about Paul, the so-called psychic octopus that has been accurately “predicting” the outcome of Germany’s matches in the World Cup. Now, I have to admit that I have paid very little attention to the most popular sporting event in the world. This is not because of some snooty American prejudice against football, I just don’t really care for sports.
Anyway, I have two thoughts on the matter:
1. I’m a skeptic, but if anything was going to have psychic powers, it would totally be an octopus.
2. Paul is a weird-ass name for a German octopus.
i love paul the octopus so much and i always will i want a plushie of paul too!
