Probably one of the stupidest holidays I've ever heard of. But hey, if people want to worship a little brown vermin, thats their business.

However, if they believe that if he sees his shadow, he'll influence the weather over the next 6 weeks, thats just crazy.

We should have lots of silly holidays.

I used to have a party where we'd carve Spam groundhogs.
It was great fun and absolutely silly!

.........it's unfair to subject the creature to the bright lights and huge crowds that mark this Feb. 2 tradition.

PETA Says Robot Should Sub For Groundhog : NPR

PETA says to replace the groundhog with a robot,....similar to what we have for congressmen. (I added the last statement,..but it sounds like something PETA would say).
