Germany's magic octopus

[Red-4-Life]

Some octopus in Germany sitting on some box (i dont know exactly what it is) has been predicting all of Germany's games and has so far gotten every game right.

And for the record, the octopus has tipped Germany to beat Argentina this weekend.

First the German's use the Jabulani's 4 months before the WC, and now they have a freak octopus predicting their future!

Was referring to the end (of 1914-1918 & 1939-1945)

Or have i totally missed the pointy bit

[Andy_Pipkin]

Probably should have been at the start
1914 and 1939

so known not to proceed, or in WWII leave the russian front alone

Only video footage of the octopus picking Germany against argentina and England. Although they are correct, he apparently picked Serbia over germany which I won't believe until I see video footage

That picture is a fake. It was posted a couple days ago. The Spanish flag isn't even right.

[Peter_Griffin]

As if a benchwarmer would know if a photo would be faked

I know your Mrs. wasn't the other night, she went alright..

[Mr Magoo]

Are you really discussing whether or not a photo of a clairvoyant German octopus is on the level or not?

What are the odds that the octopus was planning all along to screw everyone over for the final, and try to ruin everyone's lives by making them lose huge amounts of money at the end?

He looks like a devious one.

I wonder if the Indian bookmakers are on to it. Maybe holding it to ransom with some baby octopuses (or is it octopi?)

we'll he is two years old.. so i guess for a couple of years.. prob a psychic ability he's had from birth

[Outlaw 2.0]

Got it on good word from Paul's mate Tom "the Tuna" that Paul gained his psychic ability when he had a near death experience with Bruce the shark and ever since then has been predicting games and reading palms on the side. Tom said that Paul is going away for the rest of the week to channel his psychic ability for the final.
