    was paulie the octopus the greatest handicapper of recent time?

    Unfortunately, he passed away last year. He's that octopus that can predict winners in sporting events (World Cup) and I heard even politics (Ahmidinijad of Iran was hating on him). Does anyone here own an oracular animal? I am thinking of getting one for fun and maybe luck. I'd like to have an octopus that are not too big to put in an aquarium. I heard they are venomous so I don't know if they are even for sale like aquarium fishes. Anyone know?

    I wanted a pet shark. Obviously a small one to put in an aquarium.

    thanks for the sarcasm, but I was serious. There's "giant" octopus, so there's gotta be a smaller one.

    I was reading about him the other day. He successfully predicted each one of Germany's World Cup matches, because that's where his home is. When I first read about it, I thought he picked every match...but he only picked the matches Germany was in. Either way, very impressive considering he went like 7-0
