It's just silly and should be ignored but should not be recognized by official government organizations like we have now with their silly "forecasts for a faster Spring".

That is for Gentiles to decide since they are not kosher.

Are they related to pigs? Aren't pigs a kind of hog too?



LOL I don't think they are technically hogs, if anything they are rodents.

Excuse me you want to ban his activites and people who watch it.


You think groundhogs even know what Groundhog's Day is? They are just innocent victims of the pagans.



I am sure they are aware every year people come to see them, animals are not the stupid ones.

It's a silly myth if anything, they say about when winter is suppose to end shortly.  Well technically between Groundhog's day and the first day of Spring is 6 weeks.  So, this is just I feel like some Urban Legend if anything.  Banning though? I don't know if that will happen.

Well isn't it suppose to be if it sees it shadow?  Well in late winter you hardly have sun, but if by chance the sunlight comes through everything's shadow will form..

Hmm does this means if the sun cast our shadow that Summer will arrive months from now (Those in the north of the Equator that is.)?

You think they remember that the same thing happens every year on the same day?



Of course, animals learn every quickly and remember what happens, its apart of nature and what helps them survive.

My dogs know their birthdays, they expect special treats. My oldest cat who is 12 loves her birthday and will wait on top of the TV until you give her a gift. Only does this once a year on her birthday.

My dog warns my mum of her sugar level if it goes too low...etc.

Animals are gifted creatures and are in a very honored place in my life.

I seriously doubt the American public would want these events banned, why don't we consentrate on something that will bring the public interested in our message.

I like when the rodent says winter's almost over, so as long as he says that, I say we keep this one.

I think more people should pay attention to animals. And learn from them.

I agree, Skippy. Their biological clocks are always in tune with nature.

They are everywhere, damn horrible things, they attack live people as well as dead. Lay 24 hours in one spot you are gone.

I remember on  night we watched them devour a camel that had died that day, less that 24 hours just bones.

I tend to believe that there's more than just a little truth to "folk tales" based on wild animal behaviors.

Personal observation has convinced me that our neighbors in the animal kingdom possess an instinctual knowledge of the natural world which transcends the sensory limitations of humankind.

Many if not most of these "superstitions" are considered unreliable only because many people are not aware of the most subtle shifts in animal behavior.

It's a fact that pet dogs and cats yearn to leave home and will disappear the week prior to an earthquake.  Also seen in the days prior to a big quake are burrowing snakes emerging into plain view above ground.

Another natural sign overlooked by most people is "the panic flight of birds"... an always reliable indication that a storm is approaching.

I'll go with Phil as opposed to Al Gore anyday!

Groundhog Day was one of my favorite movies...Very rated PG and would suggest anyone here who hasn't seen it to watch it.
