The days of Paul the Octopus are over. Oracle octopus Paul passed away overnight, it’s been confirmed by the aquarium.
A statement from the aquarium in Germany where the sea creature lived broke the news on Tuesday, saying:
“Management and staff at the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre were devastated to discover that oracle octopus Paul, who achieved global renown during the recent World Cup, has passed away overnight.”
Stefan Porwoll, manager of Sea Life, gave further statements over the popular octopus by declaring:
“Paul amazed the world by correctly predicting the winners of all Germany’s World Cup matches, and then, of the final. His success made him almost a bigger story than the World Cup itself…
“We had all naturally grown very fond of him, and he will be sorely missed.
“We may decide to give Paul his own small burial plot within our grounds and erect a modest permanent shrine.
“While this may seem a curious thing to do for a sea creature, Paul achieved such popularity during his short life that it may be deemed the most appropriate course of action.”
Paul the Octopus had only 2 years of living. He would have turned 3 years of age in January 2011. The news of his death is running quickly around the world with Facebook and Twitter users sharing and offering their condolences on the internet. Meanwhile, anti-Paul the Octopus fans are also making their voices heard with jokes as that sea creature has died only to be remembered as a hero to most people around the globe.
