Groundhog Day Fact # 1

"How often is Phil's prediction correct? 100% of the time, of course!

How many "Phils" have there been over the years? There has only been one Punxsutawney Phil. He has been making predictions for over 120 years!

Punxsutawney Phil gets his longevity from drinking the "elixir of life," a secret recipe. Phil takes one sip every summer at the Groundhog Picnic and it magically gives him seven more years of life." www.groundhog.org

Not that I at all doubt Phil's weather forecasting ability, but if they have an elixir of life for a groundhog that keeps Phil going, then shouldn't they share it with people? I think Phil might be a little selfish, but we all have our shortcomings. Phil, even though you're sleeping right now, know I love you.
