The biggest winner at the World Cup is without question Paul the Oracle Octopus. The octopus is now an international icon and stupid humans are lapping up all things that is even remotely to do with his tentacles.
At the World Expo in China, hundreds (maybe thousands) of Chinese are lining up at the Euro pavilion, but they are not there to see the exhibition. They are there to get an octopus stamp! On the internet, anything with an octopus logo on it is selling like hot-cakes and Sea Life aquarium (where Paul resides) has offers asking for Paul's promotional services that some say would be worth millions!
All these money make me ask this; what’s Paul’s cut of the action? I mean Paul is THE Oracle right? It’s his ability to predict World Cup matches that is rolling in money, so why should stupid humans make money off him without him getting a cut of the action?
Paul should get a lawyer.

Just because of the luck, I don't think of the octopus as a real oracle.. anyhow, apparently, the ORACLE octopus is going to retire and will never predict anything further, and I think I'm glad to know that he will not have any further stress to choose just one option when he could have both.. :) *bisous*
Thinking of all the money Paul will make for Sea Life Aquarium, having all the clams he can eat is the least the aquarium could do for its star
