Superstition- A Backward Step

Its very amusing to read about an Octopus named 'Paul'with Possible Psychic Powers which has been randomly(BUT ACCURATELY)picking out Winners in the recent FIFA organised World Cup.
The Octopus is Currently weilding its magic wand ..or rather its tentacles in a Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen,Western Germany much to the amusement of its bewildered Veiwers who have been mesmerised by its Powers.
Its latest prediction(Spain will defeat Germany in the 2nd SEMI FINAL)was broadcast Live & watched by millions of German Veiwers yesterday.
Imagine this happening in a 3rd World Nation like India most of the Western Nations would have laughed it off and laid the blame on the backward state coupled with the Superstition prevailing in the Sub-Continent.
It would be better to Host the next FIFA world Cup in Germany and let the Octopus Pick the Winner instead of Playing the Game.
It Proves that Superstition is here to stay and human beings being very fickle minded and Prefer the former to a more Scientific & rational approach.
