Paul the Psychic Octopus Gets a Memorial

Now this is a nice gesture by the Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen.

The Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen unveiled the 6-foot plastic replica of Paul clutching a soccer ball in his eight arms on Thursday.

Aquarium spokeswoman Tanja Munzig says Paul's cremated ashes were placed in a gold-leafed urn inside the ball. Paul died three months ago.

Munzig says fans around the world had asked for a memorial.

Here is a look at the memorial. That opening on the right contains the ashes of the celebrity cephalopod.
