Pandit Paul

With Spain being announced as trophy winner, the month long excitement ended with a great fanfare. Paul (octopus) became great source of attention seeker for all match lovers. In fact those who were not interested in the sport were keen to know weather Paul’s prediction came true or not.

Now the danger is football players may stop practicing seriously and concentrate on worshiping octopus. I believe Paul will now join more games. This unscientific superstitious belief would attract politicians and stock market traders. There is no scientific base for these predictions but Paul octopus appears to stand higher than our education system and power to think.

Paul received so much attention that its predictions directly affected the morale of the opposite team and their defensive game caused them to lose. Also the probability of his prediction is 50 % so even a wild guess can be as accurate.

Can’t believe we live in 21st century.
