- Description
Minister for the Rugby World Cup, Murray McCully, has 'managed to secure the services of an acknowledged World Cup Event Manager' to help him decide on 'Party Central'. Before him is an octopus which has latched itself to a box labeled 'somewhere else' as opposed to another labelled 'Auckland'. Refers to the slow start and indecisiveness around the creating of the events centre 'Party Central' for the Rugby World Cup. The octopus is a two-year old "psychic" octopus, who achieved national celebrity status in Germany for having a 100 percent success rating in choosing match winners. English-born Paul the mollusk, who lives in The Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany, chose the winner for every match that Germany played in, having predicted that Germany would beat Australia, Ghana, England and Argentina but lose to Serbia. Paul makes his "predictions" when two plastic boxes are lowered into his tank, both containing a mussel and the German national flag in one box and the flag of the opposing team in the other.
