Paul -- not your uncle -- is a fellow octopus who lives in Oberhausen, Germany, source for many joys and sorrows during the last World Cup. What world cup? Well, the football one, of course :=) Who remains in history for Spain, Diego Forlan, the vuvuzelas -- buisines, I'd call them, for our friend Woodworm -- and, of course, Paul the octopus } Whirligig (Whirligig) New member Username: Whirligig Post Number: 374 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Sunday, October 10, 2010 - 6:22 pm:        Paul = HAM? yes Or by any chance the octopus from Oberhausen? so no What octopus, and where is Oberhausen? *looks strangely at both of you* lol...And I have an uncle named Paul, though I doubt that'd be him. =P I honestly have no idea what he's talking about ...
