Creature Feature: Paul Gets a Memorial

Paul Octopus, football tipster, got a memorial in his honor unveiled at Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany. The precocious cephalopod correctly predicted the outcomes of every one of Germany's games in the 2010 World Cup. Go figure--with eight arms and eyesight as good as an eagle's, the odds are you are smart.  Paul died three months ago. His ashes have been placed in a golden urn shaped like an octopus. RIP, Paul.
