pommes frites tweeted this the day before their building collapsed due to the explosion. makes me real hungry.

omg.

y'all, gawker has a psychic soccer-predicting clam named clam, and it's the best. a must watch.

which psychic animal will you get your world cup predictions from?

here are your options:

shaheen and waslawi, the mama and baby camelz. they signal their picks by eating from piles of "mushed up dates" placed next to country flags.

nelly the elephant. i think her method is fairly self-explanatory. 

an unnamed baby panda of china's choosing. the cub (who has been invited to make predictions, but not yet introduced to the world) will climb trees with flags on 'em.

pedro almodovar is so weird, but his movies are beautiful

this one looks good too. via.

a student painted a picture of me...

...getting my head cut off and my heart cut out, simultaneously.

heidi the cross-eyed oscar-predicting german opossum!

best idea ever.

RIP soccerpus.

paul's DEAD! he was only two and one-half bears old. ;*(

god damnit, i loved that octopus. i haven't been this affected by a celebrity death since bea arthur.

the new psychic google...

...just made me clap my hands together and giggle like a baby!

HOW DID IT KNOW?!

here goes another one:

aaaaaaaaaaaAAAaaaaHHh!!! clap clap!!

THE SOCCERPUS HAS SPOKEN.

paul picked spain to win the world cup final over the netherlands.

i believe your streak just ended, my octopus friend....

he also picked germany to win their third place match against ur a gay:

On Friday Paul first settled on top of the Germany container but after a few minutes shifted to the Uruguay container. Then after about 15 minutes he went back to Germany container, quickly opened the lid and ate the morsel of food inside. (via)

soccerpus strikes again.

i forgot to check before the game, but wanted you all to know that paul the british psychic soccerpus correctly predicted that spain would beat germany.

Paul has become world reknowned, but this good humoured, quirky phenomenon has not been well recieved by everybody.

Following the quarter-final prediction where Paul correctly guessed Argentina would lose to Germany the Argentineans threatened to kill the octopus and put it in a paella. (via)

they're just jelly.

he has one more prediction left, when germany plays ur a gay for third place, and if he can muster the strength, we might get his take on the final, too!

The mollusc medium, who stunned Germany by tipping Spain in the semi-final -- spot on as it turned out, will on Friday make his prediction for the third-place Germany match with Uruguay, a spokesman for his aquarium told AFP.
...
Afterwards, Paul will be offered boxes with Spanish and Dutch flags, the two teams in Sunday's showcase final, but only if he is deemed not too tired and still hungry, the spokesman said.


"We do not want to overburden him," the spokesman said. (via)

i hope he has a perfect world cup! and i think we should ask him about some other stuff, once this is over.

toooooot tooooooooooOOoOOoot!

psychic soccer-predicting octopus!!

BERLIN — Nervous ahead of their make-or-break World Cup match with Ghana on Wednesday, Germany has turned to an English-born octopus called Paul with a knack for correctly predicting winners.

"For the European Championship in 2008 Paul had a success rate of more than 80 percent for the German games," Tanja Munzig, a spokeswoman for Sea Life in Oberhausen in western Germany where the eight-legged oracle lives, told AFP.

"And for this World Cup, he has had a 100-percent success rate so far."

Two plastic boxes, one with a German flag and one with their opponent's, are lowered into Paul's tank, each with a tasty morsel of food inside. The box which Paul opens first is adjudged to be his predicted winner.

For Wednesday's crunch game, he chose the box with the Germany flag. He correctly predicted Germany would beat Australia in their opening Group D match and that they would lose to underdogs Serbia last week. (via)

williamsburg has another brilliant idea

i always have a difficult time coming up with a christmas gift for my father, so when i received an email promising the services of a gift clairvoyant i was excited. "finally!" i thought, someone can use their pyschic abilities to tell me what to do. but apparently the psychic chooses a gift from a limited selection of merchandise from a set of preselected stores, and something tells me that my dad isn't in need, nor want, of $150 roll of aleister crowley hand printed wall paper from grow house grow, or a $65 bordallo pinheiro goat toothpick holder from kiosk.

so thanks psychic lady judith auora ryan. thanks for nothing.
