World Cup Final: Bird vs Octopus


On Monday morning or Sunday past-midnight, all eyes (well, almost) on earth will be glued on their TV screens watching the once-in-4-years World Cup football final. Who will win? The frontpage of today's Star, Malaysia's tabloid daily, says it all. Ever since the World Cup started, Paul the octopus had gained worldwide fame by accurately (well,80%) predicting the outcome of matches in which Germany played. But Paul now has a competitor or two - Mani the bird of Singapore says it's going to be Netherlands while Paul says it's Spain. Yet another octopus, Pauline of Netherlands picked her home country to be the new World Cup champions. Looks like the World Cup has turned animals into oracles! (Click on image for better view)

Well.. it looks like Paul was right again!! How if Paul is asked to do this prophecy for every major football games like the English Premier Leauge... What if we forcibly give Paul our local Bahar drink sir?? Will Paul predict Malaysia instead of Spain to win the World Cup?? hehehee
