Groundhog Wows Iceland's Parliament
An early spring for Iceland? Of course. But the groundhog had even bigger predictions at a closed-door session with Parliament this morning.
"No more eruptions," Prime Minister Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir confidently told the press. "Based on the angle of his shadow, we determined that we would have no more volcanic activity for the next 38 years."
Other revelations included:
A slow, but steady barley growing season
A discovery of a new species of cod in March
A landslide victory for Iceland at Eurovision this year
A sex scandal involving Britain's royal family
"And, best of all," said a jubilant Sigurðardóttir, "the groundhog predicted a lucky streak for Iceland over the next thirty days. Which gives us a window of opportunity to earn all our money back. We're not quite sure how we will use Iceland's remaining financial resources. Penny stocks perhaps? All that we know is that the groundhog is infallible. And that a quick profit is guaranteed."
