Gilbert was wrong. Germans are dismayed!

The CIM pug could not predict the result of the World Cup semi finals whereas octopus Paul was right again! Paul’s keepers claim the creature is psychic and Paul has now topped Twitter trends. He is also the talking point of many social networking sites.
The animal has become the most unusual celebrity at this year’s tournament after correctly indicating whether Germany would win or lose each of their six games in South Africa. Here you see CIM pug “Gilbert” competing – German hopes were raised as he chose the bowl with the German flag on – snatching the sausage inside – meaning the Germans would win! But he was wrong as we all know by now!
