Ah, the first sign of spring! Happy Ground Hog Day to everyone. In the event you cannot remember how this prognostication is made by the Ground Hog. When he / she pops out of their winter den today, if they do not see their shadow we will have an early spring. However, if it does see its shadow we can look forward to six more weeks of winter. For those living in Alaska, this legend is really meaningless. If you count forward from this date six weeks, that will be the 16th day of March. I would love to see spring come to the north country on March 16th, but I have always wanted to win the lottery as well. The odds of either occurring is beyond my general math background. However, someone that has some great data on the topic of weather, global warming, ice age, and the greenhouse effect can be found at this link by clicking on it, he may know when we can expect spring.A couple weeks ago, give or take seven days, a blogger challenge everyone to a "ugly fish" picture contest. It was a lot of fun. Being the plagiarist that I am, I am hosting a similar contest, but before you can enter any picture, someone has to properly identify this picture.
POST SCRIPT 6:20 PM 2/2/2009Da Plumma almost guessed the correct answer to the name the above picture. His first guess was that of a monkey, which was not truly correct. However, his second guess came in a little closer, that it was the rear end of a ape. I will accept that as being almost correct. Technically, it is the rear end of a Celebes Crested Macaque. To some Macaque's it is quite a turn on, however ~
