| PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. -- Punxutawney Phil has "spoken," and the news isn't good.The world's most famous furry forecaster saw his shadow Wednesday on Gobbler's Knob, suggesting another six weeks of wintry weather. The chubby critter devlivered the prediction after he was pulled from his burrow in an oak stump at 7:31 a.m. by a top-hatted handler, and his prediction was greeted by boos from the thousands in attendance. "He's only the messenger!" one of the members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club -- the volunteer group in charge of Phil and the town's Groundhog Day festivities -- reminded the crowd braving the frigid weather. more at em link |

| #10 Shadow-seeking groundhogs -- the answer to global warning. Of course you can't breed them that way -- the Euros won't accept Genetically Modified. |

| #8 More snow? YEA! Got lots more skiing to do. No more ice storms would be nice, though. |

| #6 There is no way this winter is *ever* going to end as long as that groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any way out of it. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him. |

| #4 With all the floodlights they had out there, he either sees his shadow or he's one blind groundhog. |

| #1 I don't recall a time that Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow. Oh, well, it is spring somewhere. You have to like a place that celebrates Groundhog's Day. |
