Life: Idiotropic

The Dutch will be eating octopus tomorrow for dinner in "honor" of Paul who correctly predicted all the world cup wins (and losses) this year including tonight's loss to Spain.  The Germans had octopus last week when they lost to Spain.  Seems Paul will be getting hate mail soon... he might consider a move back to England where he came from.

If you haven't been following soccer then you may think it odd that anyone would eat octopus, but this cephalopod at Sea Life in Oberhausen, Germany has been making a lot of predictions and many believe (or at least play at believing) that he's psychic.  Just "google" Paul the Octopus and you'll get the full story.  It's pretty crazy. 

I have been to Sea Life in Oberhausen.  It's only an hour from where I lived in Germany, but sadly, I don't remember Paul and don't have a photo to post.  May be he was in hiding then... who knows who's fall he may have predicted, but it's not his fault, he's right, is it?

Anyway... we were wearing orange in honor of the Dutch... we do love that country.  But, living in Spain the year they win is pretty nice too.  The whistle blew and fireworks could be seen all along the horizon in all directions from here in our neighborhood all the way to Valencia and beyond.  Yelling, car horns, and one man loudly, in heavily accented English, declaring "champions of the world!!!!"

Congratulations, Spain.  It was a game well played.
