Above: Weather forecaster or evil genius?
I think not! I, for one, have never bought into this whole Groundhog Day business. According to my research, groundhogs (alias: "woodchucks") are actually enormous squirrels--and therefore not to be trusted. When they're not spending time in the company of weathermen and meteorologists (two of the shiftiest, most perfidious types around), they're huddled away underground, cooking up evil schemes.
So when America's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, emerged from his burrow today and "claimed" to see his shadow, I refused to believe his prediction of six more weeks of winter. In fact, I sense a conspiracy. Who is that man in the top hat, what do we really know about him, and how did he learn how to speak groundhogese?
Besides, why would I listen to some overgrown rodent from Pennsylvania when New York City supposedly has it's own weather-predicting groundhog? His name is Staten Island Chuck, and he appears to keep a very low profile. But I know one thing--he wouldn't risk his reputation predicting six more weeks of winter when New York City hasn't seen a speck of snow this season!
UPDATE: I just saw the local news. Staten Island Chuck DID NOT see his shadow! And according to the Staten Island Zoo, he's the most accurate groundhog in the country!

I wanted to have a groundhog day party, but my friends blushed, whispered to others that I was mentally damaged, and shook their heads. Anyway- MA always has more winter than we deserve.
It's all the weatherman's fault!
never ever trust the wether man
Our winter here JUST started, I mean, we had NO rain until 2 weeks ago, then there was the 'biggest storm in 100 years' (according to the weatherman, who, like the groundhog, I do not trust)It was really cool though!
Definitely evil genius. xD
Last year the groundhog said early spring, but we got a lot snow in may!!
Weather men lie, and so do ground hogs, they always say its gonna snow or rain or sleet mouintains and NOTHING HAPPENS. Lesson: Weather men and anyone who thinks they can predict weather are probably trying to get somthing or prove u r gullible
Haven't you guys read the thing in The Empress's Tomb about how to predict the weather??
Haha.
once the weather man said there was gonna have a hurricane. And NJ hadn't had a hurricane in like, several hundred years ago? I actually missed the snow. NEVER TRUST THE WEATHER MAN!
Well, if you look "meteorologist" up in the dictionary, the first definition is "evil genius," the second "criminal mastermind," and only the last " weather scientist."
;)
For some reason this post cracked me up. I was seriously laughing my head off. I think it has to be Evil Genius.
NI MORE WINTER!!!!!!
in winter the only thing that happens here in winter is a gloomy sky and 2 much rain. i can't stand it anymore.
Foofoo
wait, they have groundhogs in a zoo? as in, the place with the cool animals like parrots and polar bears and not the overgrown squirrels you can easaly see in your backyard? I DO NOT TRUST THE WEATHERMAN. i was going to go snow-tubing, but the weatherman said it would rain so we had to cancel. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THAT LITTLE OVERIMAGINATIVE, VACATION-RUINING, NINCOMPOOP.
grounhogs are ginormous squirrels? that makes me very uncomfortable. i now have the image in my head of jabba the hutt the squirrel...which is basically a groundhog. interesting.
