Germany has unveiled a new memorial for one of the early 21st century’s most celebrated individuals–an octopus that was really good at predicting the outcome of soccer games. The Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany unveiled the six foot tall plastic statue this week.It features the psychic cephalopod seated atop a soccer ball.
Paul died at the aquarium in October of last year, after a series of uncanny picks during the World Cup. During his life, Paul chose the correct outcome of all seven of Germany’s World Cup games, plus the final game between Spain and the Netherlands.
His ashes will be kept inside the soccer ball he sits atop of.
