Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter

[Newsbot]

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. – The groundhog has spoken. And it's bad news.

Punxsutawney (puhnk-suh-TAW'-nee) Phil has emerged to see his shadow before chilly revelers in Pennsylvania, meaning winter will last another six weeks.

German tradition holds that if a hibernating animal sees its shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will come early.

The Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club annually announces Phil's forecast at dawn on Gobbler's Knob, about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

Phil's announcement came before hundreds of onlookers who huddled as temperatures hovered in the teens.

The Groundhog Club says since 1887 Phil has predicted more winter weather by seeing his shadow nearly 100 times, but there are no records for nine years.

You really have a Groundhog Club?

This is a holiday with the most avstere and time-honovred traditions, dating back to the days of Iulius Caesar himself. However, it has changed most considerably. In my day, we fvcked the grovndhog if he saw his shadow, then killed him, then fvcked him again. If he did not see his shadow, we fvcked him, killed him, and fvcked him. It was a far more simpler time--iust so long as the imperial covrt didst get to fvck and kill small, fvrry animals, they didst be ivbilant.

wasn't the roman alphabet all in upper-case?

Indeed, 'twas, bvt that's becavse we didn't have keyboards with yon "shift" key, and all ovr letters didst be engraved at great time and painstaking effort. Factor in that I didst condemn those who did make spelling or other errors to be sodomized by gladiators before I personally skullfvcked their corpses, and no one wanted to bother with lowercase at all.
