According to Reuters, some Germans want revenge on Paul the Psychic Octopus, just because he picked the right winner in the Spain-Germany face off in the recent World Cup semi-final. They suggest grilling and eating him.
Now, let's wait ein minuten hier. I write as someone who has actually eaten some octopus. I'm sure it wasn't related to Paul, even distantly. First of all, IMHO octopus tastes like the inside of one's cheek, actually. Even with the sauce. It's awfully rubbery and tends to go on and on. And on. Second, I understand the German fans' disappointment. But eating the fella who predicted your team's loss? That's just bad sportspersonship. There oughta be a law.
