Have you ever seen an Indian village fair depicted in old Bollywood movies? There is one guy who can be normally seen at such fairs and he is the fortune-teller. He usually has a parrot with him who can pick up a person's fortune from the pages scattered nearby.

What reminded me of this fortune-teller is the German octopus Paul. No, no, "octopus" is not a nickname of any human being. Paul is actually an octopus who has been predicting the outcome of Germany's matches in the Soccer World Cup.
