Apparently not all oracular rodents can be as well-mannered as Punxsutawney Phil. While delivering the news of his shadow-sighting to the mayor of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, Jimmy the Groundhog was overcome with an insatiable thirst for blood and launched his incisors at the tender cheek of Mayor Jonathan Freund, claiming what was owed for the foreknowledge of the plans of Winter herself.
The incident should stand as a harsh reminder of the cost of delving into climatological prognostication…and of shoving one's ear into the face of a wild woodchuck.
The incident was caught on tape and can be seen AFTER THE JUMP…
