IT'S official - he is psychic!
Yes, Paul the German octopus,
loathed and reviled by his
adopted country but loved by
everyone else, is clairvoyant,
having correctly picked the winner
of every FIFA World Cup match.
Paul’s surprising run finished
last night, after Spain (who he
tipped to win) won the final
round of the tournament.
Having suffered through a
rather torrid few weeks, following
his correct prediction that
Germany would lose their bid to
enter the FIFA final, Paul has
managed to win back some
favour when he predicted
Germany would come in third.
Notwithstanding this, officials
had to step up security at Paul’s
German aquarium after it was
flooded with threats against his life.
Spain’s president has since
offered official bodyguards to
protect Paul, and has also said
that he is happy to offer Paul free
asylum within Spanish borders.
DRINKING is bad for your health.
A US man has been rushed to a
Texas burn centre after he was
found on fire by the side of the
road by police officers.
The intoxicated man told police
that he had let his friends set his
prosthetic leg on fire in fulfilment
of a bet that he had made.
According to reports, the man
and his buddies had agreed that
whoever drank the least over the
course of the evening would be
set on fire.
Managing to down six beers,
the man let his friends set his leg
on fire, and then bundle him in
the car to take him to hospital.
Halfway to the emergency room
however his friends got cold feet
in the face of the growing foot
fire, and set him on the side of
the road, still alight, to wait for
passing police.
Although stop, drop, roll would
have been preferable the man
merely stripped down naked when
the heat got too great, and was
eventually treated for minor burns
to his remaining non-prosthetic
leg and buttocks.
