The story of modern Iran is a collision between a monarchy with a history dating back to the Persian Empire and a frustrated nation with massive oil reserves historically coveted by Western powers.

Governed by an authoritarian monarch in the mid-20th century who welcomed Western influence, the nation grew increasingly resentful of foreign control over its oil.

From this discontent, an influential Islamic cleric fomented dissent while in exile, which ultimately brought down the monarchy.

Every February 2nd, a small ceremony takes place in the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. 

A crowd will gather to see if a rodent can see its shadow. The results of said shadow seeing are supposed to have implications for the long-term weather forecast. 

If all of that sounds a bit absurd, you are not wrong. 

… and then there is also a movie about it that really has nothing to do with groundhogs.

February is upon us. It is a time when we in the United States predict the weather on the basis of a rodent seeing its shadow, and we celebrate American presidents by buying linen and mattresses. 

We also celebrate romance and sweethearts by honoring a 3rd century Roman bishop who was beheaded. 

One thing that does make sense is questions and answers. 

Stay tuned for Questions and Answers: Volume 39 on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

However, during the third century, almost everything fell apart. In fact, for a brief period of time, it arguably did.
