Cold Comfort

Groundhog
How can something so cute possibly provide inaccurate meteorological data?

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. After seeing the brilliant Dennis Quaid vehicle The Day After Tomorrow, I consider the little guy's prediction of six more weeks of winter to be somewhat modest. I mean, if that film is at all accurate (And it's a movie, so how can it not be?), then seeing a groundhog shadow should indicate an additional eon of freezing wastelands anywhere north of Mexico. So thanks for nothing, you adorable, cuddly little bundle of happiness!

Some Groundhog fun facts.

On a slightly less insane note, my good friend Jake has launched a Web site dedicated to esoteric and adventurous foods. My reactions to the recipes ranged from hunger to horror, but each entry in Unique Culinary Adventures is interesting at the very least. I can attest to Jake's skill as a chef... plus the guy makes the tastiest cocktails I've ever had.

Finally... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LURCH!
