Can you beat Paul the Psychic Octopus?

Just a bit of post-World Cup fun for you here. Given that I'm English, the tournament was largely a wash-out for me. (Actually, that isn't entirely true. I always suspected that they were a bunch of overpaid, egotistical prima donnas with a ludicrously excessive, entirely unfounded belief in their own limited ability.)

Anyways, what I did enjoy were the phenomenal Nostradamal exploits of Weymouth's finest export. The question is: can you do the same?!?

I've just put together an application note on the work that I previously blogged about regarding Google Wave and the sharing of experimental data. I'm intending to send this off to Bioinformatics, and have no idea whether such a paper would get published. I rather think it might. Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps. But such is the random nature of the peer review system that it really is anyone's guess.

It can even be your guess.

So... ladies and gentlemen, I realise that this may entail some form of scientific sub judice, but if you fancy living dangerously, guess using the poll to your right. And see if you can out perform a two-year old cephalopod mollusk.
