PHIL UP:

No shadow for Phil (Chicago Sun-Times, February 2, 2007

Phil did not see his shadow on Friday which, according to German folklore, means folks can expect an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter.

Since 1886, Phil has seen his shadow 96 times, hasn't seen it 14 times and there are no records for nine years, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club. The last time Phil failed to see his shadow was in 1999.


There's never a bad reason to watch the conservative classic, Groundhog Day.

I can't remember where I heard it, but supposedly the writers imagined that he lived through several thousand years of that same day. Whoa.

It's been on Comedy Central all day back-to-back.
