Phil Says Spring is Right Around the Corner! (http://groundhog.org/prediction/)

Phil's Proclamation:
El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures in the west.
Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.

Global warming has caused a great debate.
This mild winter makes it seem just great.

On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.
Will we have winter or will we have spring?

On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.
I predict that early spring is on the way.

Three atheists somehow found themselves at the gate to heaven. St. Peter assumed that God must have a reason, but he decided to give them an entrance exam so that they could at least show some worth for admittance.

He told the atheists that he'd ask one question. If they answered correctly, they'd be allowed to enter, but if they answered incorrectly, they would be thrown off the cloud into hell.

He asked the first atheist, “What is Easter?”
He answered, “Oh, that’s easy. It’s in November and we all eat turkey…”
“Wrong,” St. Peter said.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH" screamed the atheist and he plunged into the flames.

He asked the second atheist, “What is Easter?”
“Oh, that’s in December, when we celebrate the birth of Christ, and exchange gifts, and eat lots of turkey.”
“Wrong,” St. Peter said.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH"

He turned to the third atheist, who was smiling smugly. “Can you tell me what Easter is?”
“Of course,” he said. “Jesus was crucified by the Romans. They nailed him to the cross, made him wear a crown of thorns, and pierced his side. His friends buried him in a cave and sealed it with a stone.”
“Excellent,” St. Peter said, amazed at the atheist's knowledge. “Go on.”
“On Easter, they roll away the stone, and Jesus rises. If he sees his shadow, we’ll have six more weeks of winter ... AAAAAAAAHHHH”

Does Phil like the Steelers or the Eagles ? :)
Does Phil think Ryan Howard of the phillies will hit 60 homeruns this year ?

Now we'll never know if Phil is a Republican or a democreep. Had he been a democreep and seen his shadow, he would have run from it!

The Steelers, of course. He is also a Pirates fan, so he doesn't care about the Phillies. In fact, he probably hates the Phillies. :biggrin:

Phil has always been a dyed-in-the-wool Republican.

Which would he pick, Penn State or Pitt?

And who does he pick in the Super Bowl--the Bears or the Colts?

Both.

Neither. He's a Steelers fan. :D

Thats one of my favorites Doc. The only difference I heard was St Peter calls the other ones over to listen at "Excellent"

Punxsutawney Phil said that winter is over. Based on these pictures from yesterday in Punxsutawney, nature didn't cooperate (can anyone say "global cooling?":
