THE soccer world is today deeply
in mourning, after the sudden
death overnight of Paul the
Octopus, who made headlines by
predicting the winners of seven
consecutive matches during the
recent World Cup in South Africa.
The mystic mollusc “appears to
have passed away peacefully
during the night, of natural
causes, and we are consoled by
the knowledge that he enjoyed a
good life,” said the manager of
the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre
in western Germany.
Paul’s body is being kept in
“cold storage” (i.e. the fridge)
until the aquarium decides how to
mark the oracle’s life.
“We may decide to give Paul his
own burial plot and erect a
modest permanent shrine in our
grounds,” the centre said.
DANIEL Radcliffe, the actor who
played Harry Potter in the
blockbuster series of movies about
the teenage wizard, says the only
souvenir he wanted from the
filming was a pair of spectacles.
But not just any glasses - the
characteristic circular specs he
wore during the movies.
“I’ve got two pairs of glasses,”
he told a fan website, “one from
the seventh film which were
lensless.
“Also I have a pair with lenses
from the first tilm which just seem
like the tiniest little things now”.
Radcliffe has just finished
filming the second part of the
seventh and final book in the
series, ‘Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows’.
A CANADIAN man says a 10-
year odyssey around the world
has been “good therapy”.
Jean Beliveau from Montreal
decided to go for a long walk on
his 45th birthday, in order to
address feelings of a “mid-life
crisis” - and he just kept walking.
Since then he has walked more
than 68,000 kilometres and
visited 64 countries, raising
money for charity along the way.
Beliveau arrived in his final
country, New Zealand, last week.
