February links - pagan Roman purification (februa = purify) and Mary's purification 40 days after the birth of Christ.

Jonah Goldberg's classic Groundhog Day column.


How to Write Groundhog Day by... the writer of Groundhog Day.

ICYMI, Friday's links are here, and include the history of domesticating chickens, beer yoga, 1960's disposible dresses, 25 animals that scientists want to bring back from extinction, and why it's nearly impossible to castrate a hippo.
