The octopus on Thursday was nominated as the "favourite friend" of the Spanish town Carballino. The octopus became a media star after correctly picking all six German World Cup results including their first-round defeat against Serbia and their semi-final defeat against Spain. "Paul" also predicted Spain's World Cup victory over The Netherlands and Germany's victory in their third place match against Uruguay. [Xinhua/Reuters Photo]
