>> The Annual Groundhog Day - Forecast!



Yesterday was Groundhog Day in Pennsylvania and Punxsutawney Phil, as pictured above, predicted 6 more weeks of winter weather! How come? His shadow was visible and that means: more winter. Traditionally, this is a popular event and a tourist magnet. (PS. check out Phils "W.T.F." facial expression..) 

Scientifically, the result of this yearly ritual can not really be counted on, or replace the traditional weather forecast, as the National Climatic Data Center had to point out. However, it is cold here too and we believe in Punxsutawney Phil's prediction skills. So 6 more winter weeks it is!

He is frequently reading whodunit stories to his sheep.

Bernd Das Brot & Ivonne The Editor Once again we bring you unique content, because who else but us would write a feature article about a grumpy piece of bread that goes by the name of 'Bernd'. Only we do this internationally. :)  The notoriously low spirited piece of dough, is famous in Germany for his TV Show ' Bernd Das Brot '. It is about him, being as grumpy as a loaf can get.   photo:  AP/ Thüringer Allgemeine To honor him, there is even a 2 meter tall statue of his likeness, located in the city center of  Erfurt, Germany since 2007. In 2009 this statue made headlines when an anonymous group abducted Bernd from his regular spot. A few weeks after that, he was found by police in a basement nearby.

But he is good and back at his old spot and that is all ...
