Paul the octopus sits in a glass box representing Germany Friday in the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany. The 2-year-old octopus oracle has predicted a German win over England in Sunday's World Cup game by choosing a mussel out of a water glass marked with the German flag over a mussel in a glass with the English St. George's Cross. A spokeswoman for the aquarium said Paul has proved to be a reliable oracle in the past: He predicted Germany's win over Australia and Ghana, as well as its loss to Serbia.
