Octopus Paul retires from football

No more World Cup, no more octopus oracle.

Paul, the octopus who became a pop culture sensation by correctly predicting the outcome of as many World Cup matches as he has legs - all seven of Germany's games plus the Spain Netherlands final - is going to retire.

The Sea Life Oberhausen aquarium's spokeswoman Tanja Munzig said the intuitive invertebrate will "go into retirement and do what he likes to do best: play with his handlers and delight children who come visit to him".

    I think he deserves a break before he's flooded with book deals.
