Wer etwas \u00fcber britischen Humor lernen will, sollte den Artikel David Spiegelhalters<\/a> (University of Cambridge) lesen: „It\u2019s definitely time to retire. I and all my profession are being humiliated by the apparent ability of Paul the psychic octopus<\/a> to predict the results of Germany\u2019s World Cup matches. (…) No interviews with Paul are currently available and so we don\u2019t know his thought processes when his Delphic tentacle reaches out and picks the winning team, but he is probably not analysing the data on past performance which forms the basis for most football prediction systems. (…) That octopus is destroying my life\u2019s work. (…)“<\/p>\n

Hier<\/a> ist noch etwas Mathematisches dazu: „Paul die Orakelkrake – mathematisch betrachtet“ (via Astrodicticum Simplex<\/a>).<\/p>\n
