You mean groundhog day is an actual day? I always thought it was something made up in the film.

I was laughing because it seemed so silly...I mean, at least ancient Wiccan traditions have some shred of sense to them...

IT is a real holiday... scientificly it has to do with the position of the sun, if its high enough it will get warmer, and the groundhog won't see his shodow, therefore summer will come early. if it's too low, it will be colder, the groundhog won't see shadow, more wintery weather.

(1) Why not just use a stick?

(2) How can you tell whether the groundhog can see his shadow or not? I'm no expert but I don't think groundhogs go OOH IT'S MY SHADOW *dance* *dance* *dance*

Where's the fun in a stick?

And I do believe that the belief is, if the groundhog sees its shadow, it runs back into its hole. Though, the dancing would be a nice touch.

Look, theres many more stupid holidays than groundhogs day. It's just a day to have fun, no worries about it, no fundamentialist groups pissed off about god knows what, no crazy people that will make death threats if you dont like it. Just a day to have un-inhibited no questions asked fun

I don't know.. What about the anti-Groundhog groups. And the pro-groundhog extreamist groups? It's inhumane to force that poor poor groundhog to be terrified by his shadow. Then again. The gruondhog isn't human..

ROFLMAO!!!

I agree, how DO we know for sure? I assume people stand around and see it with their own eyes, unless the groundhog has some secret way of communicating it to everyone.

But.. They hold him up in the air.. He couldn't go back into his hole if he wanted to. And he probably does. What entity would want to be woken up at 6 AM to be waved around like a flag to a billion cameras and flashes..
