Sad news… Paul, the psychic octopus<\/a><\/strong> who rocketed to world fame earlier this year for successfully predicting the outcome of World Cup matches (and giving rise to a host<\/a><\/strong> of imitators<\/a><\/strong>), has died at the age of 2. It’s a sad moment in the California Psychics<\/a><\/strong> office. Read on…<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul, the prognosticating octopus who enthralled millions of people by correctly predicting the outcome of several World Cup matches this year, died of natural causes in Berlin, CNN.com reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“We are consoled by the knowledge that he enjoyed a good life here,” said Stefan Porwoll, manager of the Oberhausen Sea Life Center in western Germany. “He will be sorely missed.”<\/p>\n

Paul’s caretakers set him up to make a match prediction by draping boxes in his tank with the national flags of teams that were set to play, CNN said.<\/p>\n

The boxes contained octopus food, and the humans watched to see which box he opened first.<\/p>\n

“Paul amazed the world by correctly predicting the winners of all Germany’s World Cup clashes, and then of the final,” Porwoll said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paul will be sorely missed, even by those he predicted against.<\/p>\n
