Guy #1: Dude, all this Groundhog Day shit is bullshit. It is impossible for something to not have a shadow. All things that move have shadows. If it don’t move, then it don’t have a shadow. Groundhog Day is bullshit.
Guy #2: Dude, you’re a dumbass. Only living things have shadows.

Groundhog Day is BS not because everything has a shadow, but because a 60-year statistical study has shown it to be a myth. The groundhog is wrong 72% of the time. There’s nothing to it.
Here in the Ozarks the tradition is to watch the groundhog on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, rather than Feb. 2. And I admit, a study on that has not been done.
I kind of assumed that the groundhog day thing was a load of bollocks: these bits of folk wisdom generally are.
