This is either a great joke a very strange coincidence.
As many soccer fans and TV news viewers know, there's an "oracle
octopus" named Paul in Germany who has been winning acclaim for his
ability to predict World Cup games. Well, it turns out that his
full name is Paul Allen. That, of course, is also the name of
Microsoft's co-founder -- who happens to own a yacht named
"Octopus."
"We all got a good laugh out of it," said David Postman, a spokesman for Allen's Vulcan Inc., when we called to find out if they knew how the octopus got its name. "We’ve got no idea who named him."
Looks like the Octopus picked the World Cup winner.... Spain!
