[Edit this paragraph] Century showdown
The Century Confrontation between Paul the Octopus and Bailey's Crow Mouth Before the German-German War, Paul the Octopus and Bailey's Crow Mouth launched a century-long "prophecy" confrontation. On July 1 day, before the German-Arab War, the ball king Bailey once again "golden mouth", claiming to be optimistic about the German team in the German-Arab War. He also told the media: "Germany showed the world that they can play very beautiful offensive football in the European Cup two years ago, and they even convinced me of this in this World Cup." This inevitably frightened German fans, because Bailey's "prediction" always runs counter to the actual results. However, another prediction master of this World Cup, Squidward Tentacles Paul of Germany, sided with Germany before the game. In this World Cup, Paul octopus, who was born in England and raised in Germany, guessed all the previous four matches of the German team correctly. In the face of Adebayor's war, after an hour of "deliberation", he chose Germany as the final winner. The results of the competition also proved that Paul the octopus was stronger than Bailey's crow mouth, and Germany successfully eliminated Argentina and reached the semi-finals. This also makes Argentine fans very dissatisfied. On the website, they claimed to cook and eat the star octopus living in Oberhausen Aquarium.
[Edit this paragraph] Media reports
Some media is angry and wants to cook it. With the success of Germany in the World Cup, the lucky star of Germany, a magical octopus named Paul, is gradually known to fans all over the world. Before that, the octopus had successfully predicted the German team's defeat to Ghana and England. Of course, the defeat against Serbia did not escape Paul's prediction. Before the game, Paul predicted that Serbia would win. The Serbs lived up to expectations and won the focus battle with excellent performance. Before the game, Paul's extraordinary predictive ability aroused the fear of the Argentine media. "Daily" even wrote this magical octopus into the menu with resentment: "We only need four ordinary potatoes, olive oil and a little pepper. These alone are enough to get Paul into trouble. " Nicholas Bedro, a celebrity chef, wrote cruelly on his Facebook page: "We must catch it and write it down on paper. Then we beat the octopus so that it can make predictions according to our ideas. Finally, soak in boiling water. " Obviously, Argentines can't wait to turn this octopus named Paul into "seafood soup". No wonder argentines hate this octopus so much. Paul's superb predictive ability is really frightening: before each competition, Paul will choose between glass jars marked with the national flags of both sides, and whoever Paul chooses will be the winner of the competition. In the previous four games in Germany, Paul's prediction was completely correct. Therefore, when Paul chose the glass jar marked with the German flag before the game, all German fans could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, while Argentines were inevitably nervous. Sure enough, the boys of the German team lived up to Mr. Octopus's trust. Popular candidate Argentina advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup, and Paul the Magical Octopus continued to write his own prediction legend. Now, when the German team launched the final impact on the world championship, people will not forget Mr. Paul's contribution. Now it seems that the Germans must take good care of this team's "lucky star", because the losing Argentines are eager to make it into "seafood soup".

[Edit this paragraph] Scientific interpretation
Because of the World Cup, Squidward Tentacles's "Paul" is red and purple. Why did Germans choose octopus instead of crocodiles, sharks, whales or giant salamanders? In fact, rigorous Germans all know that octopus is an extremely intelligent marine animal. Octopus Octopus has a developed brain. It can distinguish itself in the mirror, and it can also walk out of the maze designed by scientists and eat crabs outside the maze. It has three hearts, two memory systems and 500 million neurons in the brain, so it can be called an escape expert. In order to avoid being killed by predators, octopus will escape on two feet in addition to mimicry camouflage and wrist. In the tropical waters of Indonesia, an octopus named Maginettes was photographed. In the face of danger or divers, this octopus will bend and fold six of its eight claws upward to make coconut shells, while the remaining two claws will stand on the bottom of the sea and secretly move backwards, just like a small moving coconut, and escape by retreating. This gesture is very interesting. Another octopus, Akulitus, is as big as a walnut. It can also walk on two feet, but the other six feet extend outward to simulate the appearance of seaweed. Obviously, the octopus's wrist has no joints, no bones or skeletal muscles, but it did it. Biologists believe that this kind of brachiopod activity of octopus is very unique, and its camouflage "skill" really needs a little "brain". It turns out that octopus has "conceptual thinking" and can solve complex problems by itself. This ability makes it have the ability to "walk" with both feet. Because octopus is considered as the smartest invertebrate, Germans choose octopus to predict the World Cup. In the 20 10 World Cup, Squidward Tentacles's "Paul" only predicted the German game, with five consecutive victories. It turns out that octopus prediction is a trick played by Germans. Some people may ask, why don't other countries use octopus to predict the victory or defeat of their teams? The answer is that the color of the German flag is exactly the color of octopus's favorite food. Stable structural myoglobin is a necessary condition for octopus to survive in the deep sea. Octopus is keen to eat crustaceans such as shrimps and crabs because of astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is the strongest antioxidant and a necessary condition to ensure the structural stability of myoglobin from oxidation. Shrimp and crab are rich in astaxanthin, and the red substance of mature shrimp and crab is astaxanthin. So the rule of the game is that these foods must be in the container covered with the national flag to attract octopus to climb in. The German flag is black, red and Huang San, which is octopus's favorite food color. It is clearly two prawns hiding in the dark. He definitely prefers to attack such targets. The national flag of Australia is Deep Blue+Redmi. Octopus thought the food was too small to choose, so Australia lost. There is not only a red shrimp but also a red crab on the flag of Serbia. Octopus found it more attractive, so it didn't choose Germany, and Germany lost. It stands to reason that Ghana's national flag is similar to that of Germany, but it is precisely because of that five-star that the octopus thought it was impurity or dangerous and chose Germany instead, so Ghana lost to Germany. What about England? An eye-catching Red Cross offended Octopus, but prompted Octopus to choose Germany, and England was defeated. It's Argentina's turn. Without the color that attracts octopus, defeat is inevitable. On July 6th, 2065438+00, Paul predicted that Germany had no chance to face Spain in the semi-final. Because the flag of Spain is three prawns and a crab. As a result, Squidward Tentacles chose Spain. In the vast nature, almost all mollusks are color blind, and most of their eyes have degenerated. Octopus is obviously not color blind. Octopus is rich in cone cells and rod cells, which can distinguish colors sharply. Octopus's eyes are very similar to those of vertebrates, including cornea, lens, iris and retina, which can focus and image. But it is different from vertebrate eyes because it focuses light by adjusting the distance between the lens and retina, while vertebrates focus light by changing the size of the lens. Octopus can recognize the shape, color and texture of objects. Another difference is that octopus's eyes have no blind spots, and its nerve cells are outside the eyeball. [6]
