Octopus Paul dies in his sleep

BERLIN: Paul the octopus, who shot to fame predicting the results of World Cup football matches in South Africa, has passed away.

He is said to have died peacefully in his tank at the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany.

The eight-armed Octopus correctly predicted the winners of all Germany’s World Cup clashes, and then the final.

He did it by selecting one of two boxes, each loaded with a mussel food treat and marked on the outside with one of the teams.

Sea life centre manager Stefan Porwoll said: “His success made him almost a bigger story than the World Cup itself.”

Staff said there was nothing fishy about Paul’s death as common octopuses generally only live a couple of years.

“He appears to have passed away peacefully during the night of natural causes,” said Mr Porwoll.

He added: “We are consoled by the knowledge

Kathryn Grayson, Star of Classic Musicals, Is Dead

Kathryn Grayson, Star of Classic Musicals, Is Dead: Seems hard to believe now, but there was a time when they made movie musicals all the time, and even featured singers with true operatic voices. One of the finest, Kathryn Grayson, died Wednesday at 88, “of natural causes at her Los Angeles home,” according to her “longtime companion and secretary, Sally Sherman.

Miss Grayson had a good deal of what they used to call star quality, along with a pretty, flexible, well-focused soprano and abundant taste. Some of her film appearances in the 1940s and ’50s include “Show Boat,” “Kiss Me Kate,” and “Anchors Aweigh,” along with some movies with co-star Mario Lanza.

In memory of Miss Grayson, here are some clips that, I think, capture her musical personality beautifully:
