Do you remember the film “Groundhog Day” with that ridiculous weather- forecasting rodent in it? I just found out that Punxsutawney Phil is NOT MADE UP. The buck toothed blighter apparently saw his shadow this week which means we’ll have another 6 weeks of winter. Here’s the story as reported by Reuters (Reuters! at least it beats all the doom mongering. Apparently there’s some sort of economic crisis going on).
That said, looking at a picture of Phil – and his waistline, I think it is about time he declared Winter over and got his rodenty arse into the gym.
