don't get out those shorts just yet...

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of this horrible winter we're going through.

Everyone wants a piece of Phil, including the National Environmental Trust, who jumped on his coattails and brought their own human-animal hybrid (ok, it was a guy in a groundhog suit) to warn about global warming. Someone had better call the president.

UPDATE: 12:52 PM

As it turns out, Phil isn't good enough for the Canadians, who went and got themselves a woodchuck. I suppose this is just the sort of disrespectful behavior we should come to expect from their new conservative government.

Interestingly enough, they still call it Groundhog Day.

is it considered bad form to leave unsolicited comments in your own blog? in any case, i just want to point out that the last link there is to The Hindu News Update Service.

And for some reason that amuses me.
