After 6 correct predictions, Psychic octopus Paul claims Spain to be Champions

After 6 correct predictions for World Cup Soccer 2010, Psychic octopus Paul (Das Krakenorakel) has claimed that Spain will win the cup beating Netherlands in the final. It also predicted Germany winning the game with Uruguay for the 3rd place.

The psychic cephalopod was presented with two boxes containing mussels at the Sea Life centre in Oberhausen, the Spanish flag on one and the Dutch flag on the other.

After lengthy consideration Paul snaffled the mussel from the tank bearing the Spanish flag.

The England-born octopus in Germany has got multiple death threats over the correct prediction of Germany losing to Spain in the semi-finals.

Is he really Psychic or just very lucky as the probability for correct predictions till now is just 1.56% and if he gets the rest two correct, then it will be 0.39%.

How about using it for NFL, NBA or NHL? Maybe he is only good with soccer (or what non-Americans call - football).
