Studiumdermurmeltierbeobachtungvonschatten 

The German word for one who dedicates their life to the study of observations made by a groundhog upon its own shadow. They spend a lifetime to be able to correctly predict weather there will be six more weeks of winter based on Punxsutawney Phil's reaction to his shadow.

Although some might scoff at such a profession, modern science has not produced a better way to predict winter's end.

Bill Murray was disappointed the Studiumdermurmeltierbeobachtungvonschatten had the same observation every day in the classic 1993 film, Groundhog Day.
