Collegeboredom.com

With the upcoming media hype surrounding Groundhog Day - Feb 2, I thought I'd throw out some unusual questions.

Groundhogs (woodchucks) can do 2 of the following:

A) Howl

B) Swim

C) Chuck wood

D) Play dead

E) Climb trees

Answers - B & E

If you answered C - you've been watching too many Geico commercials!

Yes, they will climb trees, infrequently.

Groundhogs eat:

A) Insects

B) Green vegetation

C) Baby birds

D) All the above

Answer - D

Yes, they've been known to eat young birds.

However, groundhogs aren't eating now - they're hibernating. Groundhogs are true hibernators whose body temperatures may drop just above freezing!

Groundhog Day

Groundhog (also known as a woodchuck) Day is Feb 2. 

The most famous groundhog is Punxsutawney Phil - http://www.groundhog.org/

I noticed this year's Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Banquet speaker is Jim Koch - Founder of Boston Beer Company (Sam Adams Beer). Cost to attend the banquet is $25.

Would you pay $25 to hear Jim talk about groundhogs and beer?
