PSYCHIC OCTOPUS

Meet Paul the Octopus above. It appears that Paul can predict the winners of World Cup matches from his tank at the Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany.

Paul's handlers place two glass boxes in his tank -- one with a German flag, the other with the flag of an opponent. Then they place shells and other treats inside. The first box Paul picks is the winner.  So far Paul have picked Germany to win for five matches.  However, for the semi-finals match with Spain - Paul picked Spain.  Let's see if Paul is right.  We will know in a few hours' time.
