February 2, 2012 The Shadow Knows

Today is the day I'm supposed to look for my shadow with the whole world watching. If I see my shadow we'll have six more weeks of winter and if I do not see my shadow we'll have spring.

Do I look or do I not? If I don't look and see my shadow, even though it is there, will we have spring?

Looks like six more weeks for us ...
If they are going to be like yesterday or today, bring it!
It has been gorgeous here.

Reminds me of Bill Murray...

6 More, what happened to the first 6 weeks???

Is it the eyes?

We have a number of questions/ statements posted along the corridor in school.
Some are riddles, some just designed to make you think.

One still has me baffled:
Think of an object that does not cast a shadow.
Given a source of light, surely everything corporeal casts a shadow?

If we get six more, *those* will be the first six.

A pane of window glass?

A pane of window glass does cast a shadow, just a very faint one (roughly 10% of the light doesn't make it through).

Maybe the answer is the Sun?

The sun does not cast a shadow.

The wind doesn't cast a shadow.

Naughty FFF. ;)

Any object in complete darkness does not cast a shadow.

The earth's molten core.
