It was sad to read about the death of octopus Paul though the news reports had mentioned that he was already beyond his expected life span. Personally, I don't think there was anything 'psychic' about the whole thing because I remember reading article, somewhere on the net, that claimed that many sea-dwelling creatures possess similar abilities. But it felt good that, for a change, an animal shot into limelight in a world where humans are ready to do anything to achieve the same.
