Ok, what’s going on with groundhogs? I’ve had over 60 people search for the term groundhog and end up on my site in the last two months. I noticed it around Mole Day and thought people were confusing groundhogs with moles.

However it is continuing — even more so since Mole Day as the above chart indicates.

If you search google images for the term groundhog, the first image that comes up is one that is on my server — one I blatantly stole from the Internet for a post about Groundhog Day (the day — not the movie), so I suppose people are just searching for images of groundhogs.

But why?

I think it is a conspiracy. Or groundhogs are going to take over the world. Or maybe we should invest in groundhogs. What do you think it means?
