So as you probably know, Paul the octopus -- the one that predicted like a million game outcomes correctly during the World Cup -- died this week at the ripe old age of two and a half. What you might not know is that Paul was apparently a publicity stunt for the Merlin Entertainments Group, the company that owned his aquarium. The Group also owns several Legoland themeparks, the Madame Tussauds wax museums, and landmarks like the London Eye.

Don't get too broken-hearted, though, because even though "the truth" has come out over the past few days via interviews with Paul's agent (sure he has an agent) Chris Davis, I'm going to choose to believe that the allegations are malicious rumors aimed to defame Paul's genius.

He was a talented guy, and I think he died way before he got the chance to do his greatest work.

After the jump, check out my foolproof business plans that would have brought Paul's career to the next level.
