Astrological Predictions of Octopus Paul during World Cup 2010

During the recent foot ball WC2010 games played in South Africa, the predictions of an Octopus named Paul kept in  a German zoo,were  the  topic of the talks among the enthusiasts world over.

All his eight predictions including the finals were found to come true.

This outcome is just conjectiral, coincidental and farcicical interpretation of  behavior of the octopus.

Paul didn’t know about the football game , it didn’t  know the countries playing the same, it won’t have any knowledge of the national  flags on which  it chose to sit as indicative of the winner or could be distantly thought to have any idea of the  astrological role that  it was supposed to play.

But, it could have influenced little bit the outcome of the game!

In addition to the skill, sweat and blood of the players , it might influence the  psyche of the players who  believed even reluctantly in such astrological gimmicks!

Such the socalled baseless predictions may have psychsomatic demoralising or  enthusiasm enhancing effects on the teams involved.This may tilting effect on  the game in favour of ‘predictions’!

All different forms of predictions may have the same effect.The degree of belief of the concerned parties would determine the intensity of this psychsomatic effect.ultimately that extra effort or slackness on the part of parties may determine the outcome in many cases.Such outcome would be taken  as astrological prediction in  many cases wherever effect is in favour of it!

The mind and body act  jointly and role of mental status can’t be undermined particularly in competitions!
