UPDATE: Well, Phil seems to have made an admission –
A prosecutor in Ohio has indicted Punxsutawney Phil, the world’s most famous weather-predicting groundhog, following Phil’s prediction of an early spring on February 2nd. Butler County, Ohio’s Michael T. Gmoser is recommending the death penalty, by the way.
Here’s the defense from Phil’s team:
“If you remember two weeks ago on a Sunday, it was probably 60, 65 degrees,” handler John Griffiths told WXIX in Phil’s defense. “So, I mean, that basically counts as an early spring.”
That’s hardly convincing.
I’d say Phil’s guilty, but I’d favor sentence of a year’s snow-shoveling. We could even throw in a bag of ice melt.
What do you think?
Did Phil use the American Model or the European Model…?
Guilty! Off with his head.
Time for a plea bargain if he know’s what’s good for him.
I’m thinking that rather than a European or American model, Phil may have settled on a Punxsutawney one!
he’s been framed
Give him a job on channel 4.
Yikes. Worse than weather are my brackets, and Badgers! Sigh….Go, Harvard!
Yes, indeed. Georgetown’s out now, too.
