I am devastated. Paul and i were tight. May our octolegged friend rest in peace! Should have never moved to an aquarium where the Dutch might have a chance to off him!

He didn't move. He died in the same aquarium where he lived when he made the predictions. Besides, AFAIK the only serious threats he (and the zoo) ever received were from Jerries who were sauerkrauted because he "predicted" that they'd lose to Spain - which they did.

For shame! I knew the jerries were sore losers, but never o this extent! I know the Dutch are unforgiving, but would never pick on OctoPaul! Another poster mentions Maggie the Monkey? Who is that? Are the jerries after Maggie too?

I am fond of inverterbrates as there are many on RHP! However, the RHP variety are also sometimes spineless slime and usually from the lower reaches of humanity! Give meOctopaul any day! Like someone used to say after spnding time with humans give me dogs. Wait a minute, they gots spines! Company of cuttlefish is better.

Cruel, cruel man you are! Paul was a friend of mine. Do not laugh at the expense of a poor octolegged friend! Although you ain't far from the truth!

And England. Hooligans might get new Paul if he picks the team of the Roses as favorite for anything since we all know what will happen! England will do a WC debacle repeat and Y'all will pickle the poor critter!
