German Zeitung Today (09.07.2010) :
Is PAUL really in danger ?
Yoh ! He needs Bodyguards !
After Spanienīs victory 1-0 over Germany the spanish premier Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapate has recently said during an press interview :
“ We are very worried about PAUL.”
Industry minister Miguel Sebastian even suggested that PAUL should have to be brought to the Iberian penninsula for security reasons.
Minister for Environment, Elena Espinosa, said even bluntly: “ so the Germans could not eat him….”
Although there are currently no indications of possible attacks on PAUL, the Sealife in Oberhausen has however increased the safety precautions !
Stefan Porwoll, manager of the aquarium , said recently to the press : “ we have now an employee, whose responsibility is taking care of PAUL during the daily opening time. "
Maybe an ideal close-protection job for ex-Navy-SEAL with excellent diving skill (in...Aquarium!) ?

It's akin to swallowing goldfish in one's collge days when you're drunk as hell and just want to do something crazy.
Only problem is that if you actually acquire a taste for it, you'd rather eat it than just about anything else. Mix in a little bit of Ko****ang paste with vinger, seasme oil, sugar (Cho-Jang) and use that as a dipping sauce.
Only problem is those suckers tend to stick to your throat as you swallow so more than a few have died of suffocation while eating the suckers.
Put it in your mouth, chew like crazy until you've grinded it up very fine and swallow fast.
This is also a more pleasant experience when you have a caucasian woman with you and go eeeeeeewwwww" and make funny faces as you chew it. :))

Eight is enough: Octopus retires
BERLIN -- No more World Cup, no more octopus oracle.
Paul, the octopus who became a pop culture sensation by correctly predicting the outcome of as many World Cup matches as he has legs -- all seven of Germany's games plus the Spain-Netherlands final -- is going to retire.
The intuitive invertebrate will "step back from the official oracle business," Tanja Munzig, a spokeswoman for the Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen, told AP Television News.
"He won't give any more oracle predictions -- either in football, nor in politics, lifestyle or economy," she said. "Paul will get back to his former job, namely making children laugh."
However, Paul took one last curtain call on Monday. Aquarium employees presented the octopus with a golden cup -- similar to the official World Cup trophy.
Although the cup was garnished with three mussels, Paul ignored it for several minutes as it was lowered into his tank.
He finally picked off one mussel and devoured it in front of television cameras.
Paul won worldwide attention as he called all of Germany's games correctly -- including its semifinal defeat by Spain. He crowned his career by forecasting correctly that Spain would beat the Netherlands in Sunday's final.
