Happy...Groundhog Day?

Who in the world decided to make Feb. 2 into a day when we sit and wait for a large rodent to pop out of the ground? Who decided that said groundhog seeing its shadow means we will have a long winter, and that not seeing its shadow means we will have an early spring? Maybe not seeing its shadow just means that it's blind!

And who decided which groundhog we're all watching? Which one "knows" how the winter is going to end? What if different groundhogs have different reactions? THEN what? Do we go with the majority? Or do we say that, if they're sending mixed signals, it's because it's going to be a moderate winter - neither mild nor long?

I just don't get it...I didn't even like the movie...
