The weather 'predicting' groundhog is only right 39% of the time!

Punxsutawney Phil is the name of the groundhog that lives in the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Every year, he causes a major hubub. 

Every February the 2nd is called Groundhog Day, because Phil comes out of his home. According to the tradition, if Phil sees his shadow and goes back to his hole, it means there will be 6 more weeks of winter. If he does not see his shadow, he predicts an early spring. 

This day is a huge celebration, organized by members of the Inner Circle, who dress in top hats and tuxedos. The media comes out to cover the festival, and there was even a famous movie made around the day. 

The only problem is, Phil is a terrible predictor! The StormFax weather Almanac has kept records of his predictions. Over the last 115 years, the groundhog has only been correct 39% of the time. That means that you could flip a coin and you would be more accurate. Now where's your fair?

Steven Spielberg has insinuated that a Transformers ride could be coming to Orlando, too. The ride is already at Universal Studios Singapore.

As for now, the ET ride is the last original ride left, and it’s been rumored to be on the chopping block for years.

William Tyndale was executed in 1536 for translating the Bible into English!

Tyndale was a scholar and translator and a leading figure in the Protestant Reform. He translated parts of the Bible from its original Greek and Hebrew into English.

He was the first to directly translate from the original text to English. He took advantage the new printing method that allowed him to distribute his work. The Roman Catholic Church took it as a direct threat as well as the English church and state.

Tyndale wrote a paper opposing the King’s divorce, too! He was arrested and put in jail in 1533. He was tried for heresy and choked, impaled, and burnt on the stake in 1536 for his actions. It is estimated that the King James Version of the Bible is 83% Tyndale’s in the New Testament translation and 76% his in the Old Testament.

The inventor of Tetris made another game, Hatris, where the gamer had to stack hats on heads!

Alexey Pajitnov, the inventor of Tetris, made Hatris for Bullet-Proof Software. The puzzle game consists of various hats falling from the top of the screen and one must arrange them in a specific pattern to gain points.

The game is quite similar to Tetris. To eliminate hats, you have to stack 5 identical hats in a row. It doesn’t seem very original, but it’s a different spin on Tetris.
