かのタコは死してなお、TwitterのTrending Topicsに入る。 #paultheoctopus

彼がいなかったら「ブブゼラ」しか盛り上げる材料がなかったかもしれない――今年のワールドカップに関して、それほどに大きな役割を担ったとされるドイツの水族館の「予言タコ」のパウルくんが、この世での時間を終えたと、今日報じられました。 これに伴い、Twitter上に飛び交っている追悼のことばから、少し。 普通にシリアスな場面で用いられる英語の定番フレーズ(青色で表示。「○○様のご逝去を悼み、謹んでお悔やみを申し上げます」的なもの)の例文集としても、また「死ぬ」の婉曲表現集(緑色で表示。pass away, bite the dust, snuff itなど)としても、ご活用ください。

イタリア料理で見る「カラマリ(カラマーリ) calamari」っていう単語って、イカ限定じゃなくて、タコについても使うの?

Wouldn't mind eating Paul the dead octopus (may he R.I.P.) with sushi and inherit some of his psychic powers.

Yay! We can have him for dinner. RT @dhjax: RT @kayaburgess: Paul the psychic World Cup octopus has died. Bet he didn't see that coming.

Kudos to Paul the Psychic Octopus for dying before bad career moves tarnished his reputation. The James Dean of cephalapods.

There's about as much chance of me following Channing Tatum as there is of Paul the Psychic Octopus rocking up to Brazil 2014

おお、これはすばらしい、「クジラ構文」的な否定の意味のso[as] much ... as S+Vのきれいな例文。「私がCTをフォローする可能性は、パウル君が2014年ブラジル大会まで元気でいるのと同じくらいだ」。つまり「可能性はゼロ」。

@SiHawkings Exactly. And maybe the 'psychic' parrot too right? Such is life. The poor octopus should be knighted..
