"Paul the Octopus, the tentacled tipster who fascinated football fans by correctly predicting results at this year’s World Cup, died Tuesday.
Paul had reached the octopus old age of 2 years and died in his tank on Tuesday morning in an aquarium in the western German city of Oberhausen, spokeswoman Ariane Vieregge said.
Paul seemed to be in good shape when he was checked late Monday, but he did not make it through the night."
Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. Paul will long be remembered for the successful predictions he made during the last Football World cup.
Prior to Warner Brothers meeting with the Government last night they called on Paul's expertise to decide where they would shoot the upcoming Hobbit Movie.
Also Opposition leader Phil Goff called on Paul's expertise to help him predict whether he could win next years election.
