Paul the Octopus died today in Germany after a long career of predicting World Cup Soccer winners. Paul died of natural causes at the old age (for an Octopus) of 2 1/2 years old. He successfully predicted the winners of seven of the 2010 World Cup matches, including picking Spain over the Netherlands in the championship game. He will be missed.
UPDATE: Paul the Octopus has just been replaced by Paul the Octopus II! Hopefully he will achieve the same fame and success by choosing World Cup winners. Read more here - http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2010/11/paul-the-octopus-successor-makes-public-debut.html
