What Many of You Don't Know

Sure it is Groundhog Day in the United States and all that.

But do you know that today in Iraq its Dhul-Qi'dah 18th and well, that just happens to be Sand Spider Day in Mosul?

Every year on Dhul-Qi'dah 18th a crowd gathers around Mosul Mahdi, the Sand Spider, and sees if she detects her own shadow with her eye clusters.

It is reported today that she did, thus there will be at least Six More Years of Civil War.

I can't wait for the Bill Murray movie about it.
