Happy groundhog day, everybody!
Quoting the AP:
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. -- A new pair of hands pulled Punxsutawney Phil from his stump this year, so it was only fitting that the groundhog offered a new prediction.
Phil did not see his shadow on Friday, which, according to German folklore, means folks can expect an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter.
Over on CNN they're reporting that "Kyoto Al" has predicted that folks can expect to burst into flames within the next 10 years due to increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

In case you hadn't heard of him, Kyoto Al is known as the "protocol penguin". He came out of his igloo this morning and didn't see his relfection in the ice.

He couldn't see his reflection in the ice because it has all melted away.

Punxsutawney Phil is for real. Too bad we don't get the day off work for Groundhog Day though.

along those lines, exactly HOW MANY Punxsatawney Phil's
have there been? The number's gotta be UP THERE.
I can remember him since I was knee-high-to-a-dime.

No idea.
There used to be a marmot in my state called "Utah Joe" that the reporters would watch on Feb. 2, but I haven't heard anything about him in a long time.

I, for one, will be glad of spring. We've had a rough winter.
