  1. Octopus is good when it is prepared as tako su and sushi/sashimi.

    I also had an octopus stew at a Turkish restaurant and it was delicious.

  3. Well, if the octopus is a fraud, then whoever it is that is placing flags on the right side box needs to quit working at the aquarium and start his/her own gambling website.

  5. Paul should of done an octopus’s equivalent to taking a dive while making this selection to illustrate what it will be like to watch these teams play each other.

  6. True on these picks, but this has not been the case on all of his picks. For example, he slid past Argentina’s box to pick Germany and switched boxes to pick Spain over Germany. Yes, I do have a gambling problem, thank you.

  7. Well, my bracket had France going to the semi-final, so the psychic cephalopod system has to be at least as reliable as whatever logic compelled me to make that pick.

  8. Well, assuming randomness, there is a 50% chance he would pick the same flag twice, so I doubt there’s a while lot you can really read into that.
