OT: PAUL THE OCTOPUS IS DEAD

The soccer prognosticator died in his tank (kind of like Jim Morrison dying in his Paris bathtub, I guess). He was 2 1/2 years old, or something.

Octopii would make excellent Congressmen: they are smarter than the usual variety of Congressmen, and because they only live 2-3 years, there wouldn’t be any need for term limits. Also, when they do die, we can eat them. There’s at least one Greek restaurant on Capitol Hill where they can prepare them.

I wonder if Paul (an obvious gambler himself) would have played the Martingale game?
