Paul the Octopus is on an incredible run.
He has picked all German results correctly at the World Cup (6/6) and has now gone for Spain to win the final.
So, what happens?
He has to deal with imitators. Animals who have no history of making any previous correct predictions (or any predictions at all sporting or non-sporting) get on the bandwagon. Keas in New Zealand, camels and giraffes at a Dutch zoo get the chance to pick who will win the World Cup and gain media coverage.
Its bollocks. Paul has earned his right to get his exposure, the other animals have done nothing, have no track record at all.
