good,great,superman,lois lane.

i can’t tell you what it really is
i can only tell you what it feels like
and right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe
i can’t breathe but i still fight while i can fight
as long as the wrong feels right it’s like i’m in flight
high off of love 
drunk from my hate
it’s like i’m huffing paint and i love it the more i suffer, 
i suffocate
and right before i’m about to drown, she resuscitates me, 
she fucking hates me
and i love it, wait, where you goin’?
i’m leavin’ you, 
no you ain’t 
come back
we’re running right back, here we go again
so insane, cause when it’s going good its going great
i’m superman with the wind in his back, she’s Lois Lane
but when its bad its awful, i feel so ashamed 
i snap
whose that dude? 
i don’t even know his name
i laid hands on her
i never stoop so low again
i guess i don’t know my own strength

Paul's Prediction Bias

Shelagh Malham, of Bangor University, states that individuals of the species Octopus vulgaris can distinguish brightness, and are drawn to horizontal shapes. However, according to Janet Voight at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, there is no evidence that octopuses have colour vision.


Coincidentally, Spain flag has broader yellow than Germany flag, and Serbia flag is more vivid. Thats why Paul chose Spain and Serbia instead of Germany. 

No one knows. Maybe because people nowadays stupid than octopus?? LOL.
And please stop photoshopping paul with the other flag in FB.  

p/s: Wanna eat Takoyaki! yea, the one with little tiny octopus in it.

Paul not-so-Smith

Paul who? Paul is a common octopus used as an oracle to predict the results of German international football matches since Euro 2008.


Paul 2-year-old octopus oracle - was born in England but raised in Germany -- ironically, has predicted a German win over England in Sunday's World Cup game. And his predictions in South Africa 2010 are still 100%. 

Since the latest prediction, Germans are no longer praising their octopus, instead calling for Paul to be cooked and eaten. LOL
Many German fans were unhappy with Paul's decision to plump for Spain and fearing a backlash, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luiz Rodriguez Zapatero has joked he will offer state protection to Paul.
Zapatero said: "I am concerned for the octopus ... I am thinking of sending him a protective team."
Plus, Spanish environment and fisheries minister Elena Espinosa added 
"On Monday, I shall be at the European Council of Ministers and I shall be asking for a [fishing] ban on Paul the octopus so the Germans do not eat him."

More to come about Paul's possible selection bias. Because of the flag? the box?
