It’s Groundhog Day. Also, a special Palindrome date 02-02-2020. Also, Super Bowl Sunday.
Here are a few bits of news and silliness related to this special day, that will make you smile. None them are about trump, impeachment or about politics.
Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of Prognosticators and Weather-Prophet Extraordinary — was rudely woken up from his slumber this morning and there was not a shadow to see; so hurrah for superstition, Spring will be here shortly.
Not so fast says Florida. Um, Florida does not count; neither go Gators.
We have a dissenter — Shubenacadie Sam from Nova Scotia. The Canadians are weird.
The Weather scientists at NOAA seem to be taking P. Phil too seriously. Looks like we will soon have Blanche or Hazel to keep Phil company. Hooray for science and silliness.
The folks at NWS are having none of this foolishness -
PETA decides to stick its paw into the groundhog business. An AI groundhog, seriously? Punxsutawney Phil has nothing to do with weather; it is just a jolly old tradition, like many others. And what about AI rights?
PETA obviously does not understand how groundhogs make weather predictions.
OK, this one is not related to Groundhogs, but it is a very funny article about a deadly serious topic and hits the nail on the head.
Public health officials in Toronto have confirmed its first 50,000 cases of being a misinformed fuckwit as xenophobic conspiracy theories and tales of false cures continue to spread across social media.
“Becoming a complete moron during an infectious disease outbreak is far more viral than we first thought,” said Dr. Jeanne Smith of Toronto Public Health. “Fact resistance is abnormally high especially among the dullard population, and the bottom 5% of your graduating high school class.”
Patients are usually asymptomatic until they open their mouths or start tweeting.
“Our epidemiologists are working hard to identify idiot zero, but there might be more sporadic outbreaks of coronavirus-related imbecility,” added Dr. Smith.
Meanwhile, health officials are dreading teaching the population a complicated prevention technique: washing your hands.
And the Coup de grâce - the much awaited “Groundhog Day” commercial by Jeep, which was spotted getting filmed a few days ago in Woodstock, IL. It will be played during the Super Bowl tonight. Looks like a winner!
There are some more Super Bowl commercials in the comments section below.
Please share your tweets and stories that will bring a smile to our weary faces. Lord knows, we need it for a few moments, before the we get back to the business of ridding the virus from the White House. And lets keep politics and punditry out for this evening.
Happy Super Groundhog Sunday!
