Ah, the Germans. Never one to let a once-cute idea die, they’ve revived World Cup sensation Paul the Psychic Octopus (in spirit anyways) by introducing their newest ESP-laden animal– Heidi, a cross-eyed opossum. You can’t make this stuff up.
Heidi’s task? Picking the Oscars, a seemingly tougher task than Paul’s since he had a 50/50 chance on every match and she’ll have to pick a winner out of multiple choice. Nevertheless, Heidi isn’t nervous. Mainly because she’s an opossum.
I’m not exactly sure how an opossum gets cross-eyed (probably from staring at its laptop too long) but it’s admirable that Heidi hasn’t let this disability stop her from chasing her dreams of being a famous psychic marsupial, like so many before her.
In the meantime, let me submit my services a psychic blogger– Toy Story 3 wins Best Animated Film. Now where’s my check?

Leipzig Zoo Director Joerg Junghold told Germany’s RTL television on Friday that Heidi will be appearing on the “Jimmy Kimmel Show” alongside the Oscars on Feb. 27.What, Conan wasn’t available?
