Why doesn't every sport have an octopus?

So apparently, in an aquarium in Germany somewhere there's an octopus named Paul who has correctly predicted the outcome of every match Germany's been in so far.

Today, it predicted that Spain would win the Spain/Germany match, much to Germans' disappointment.

As a result, one fan in the German stands is holding up a sign that says "Even octopus can be wrong."

This sport is amazing.

I love octopi - they are SO cool, I love seeing one getting in the news this way. X-D

I just want to know whose idea it was to make him predict World Cup matches. I think I want to shake their hand.
