World Cup Octopus Has Died

[scorrie]

Paul, the Psychic octopus who gave so many so much joy when predicting that Germany would defeat England in the World Cup, and who tipped all other games correctly by flexing his mussels from the appropriate box, has sadly passed away:-

Some will mourn, many will probably cheer in memory of him condemning their team to defeat.

RIP Paul, as the headline says, just like Rommel, he died in his tank!!

Rommel didn't die in a tank!

Err, it was just a joke, not a piece of historical writing. Certainly not worth rolling your eyes about!! Gee whizz.

Anyway, I maintain that this photo of Rommel in a tank, clearly shows he was already dead:-
