Obama dangerously close to a 'Killer Rabbit' moment

| Is President Barack Obama on the verge of being attacked by a bunny wabbit? Absolutely. All the signs suggest that Obama is in immediate danger of a rabbit attack. It would ruin what's left of his presidency. And it would horrify Democrats by ushering in, say, a President Bachmann. It might happen while he's on that ridiculous vacation of his. Obama is chilling at some exclusive multimillion-dollar estate on Martha's Vineyard, even as thousands more Americans hit the unemployment lines, and as Republicans like Michele Bachmann make wild-eyed, crazed claims about bringing back $2 per gallon gas.

An earless bunny born Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant could be the start of lots of strange goings-on in the land of the rising sn. Amateur footage posted on Youtube shows an earless mutant rabbit, and the person who made the video claims it was shot just outside the exclusion zone near Japan's crippled Fukushima plant. The development has given rise to fears that the nuclear radiation leak is worse than expected and human babies with mutations may be next on the list.... |

| Chinese Year of the Rabbit officially comes today, or it already came Wednesday due to a 12-hour time difference between the U.S. and China. Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival according to the literal translation of its Chinese name, is the most significant holiday for more than one quarter of the world's population. It begins on the first day of the first month of the lunar - lunisolar more accurately - calendar, based on exact astronomical observations of the longitude of the sun and the phases of the moon by ancient Chinese astrologists.

| Homeowner solves his holiday light mysteryA homeowner near Denver finally caught the grinch who has been damaging his light display for years. But the culprit ended up being a lot cuter than he expected. Barry Miller says for the past four or five years now his driveway lights had been cut in the same exact place. He thought maybe a neighbor had been pulling a prank on him. So he decided to hook up a surveillance camera and a motion detector to catch whoever was doing it. "I was so excited, cause they were cut in broad daylight. Then we... |
Jimmy Carter Explains "Killer Rabbit"

| At 537 pages, former President Jimmy Carter's latest book, "White House Diary," is full of behind-the-scenes accounts of his time in the Oval Office - but one incident goes without mention, and it involves a rabbit. In April of 1979, Carter used a paddle on his boat in Plains, Georgia to splash a rabbit and prevent it from swimming too close to his boat. Thirty-one years later, CNN's Howard Kurtz asked him about the ordeal. "I was fishing one afternoon...," Carter said on CNN's "Reliable Sources."

Energy Kamuruko was out tracking with dogs when he noticed a rabbit dart into a tunnel near the village of Mandipaka in Nyanga. The 20-year-old peered inside but his head got stuck.

| A couple of weeks ago, I came home to a distressed message on my answering machine. The voice on the other end exclaimed, “Kim! Where are the white-tailed ptarmigan?!” The distraught messenger is a friend of mine, someone who I consider one of the most knowledgeable and active birders in the Eagle Valley area. She went on to say that during her alpine hikes this summer she's seen plenty of pika but she hasn't seen a single ptarmigan and she wanted me to join her on a mission to find some. |

| BERLIN — A German court on Tuesday threw out the case of a schoolteacher against a pupil who had allegedly been tormenting her by scrawling pictures of rabbits on the blackboard. The court in Vechta, northern Germany declined to hear the complaint of the teacher, who was seeking an injunction against the 16-year-old girl to stop her from making the drawings or claiming the plaintiff had a paralysing fear of rabbits. "The plaintiff now has a month to appeal the verdict," the court's chief judge Mechthild Beckermann said, declining to elaborate. Witnesses had told the judge that the teacher ran... |

| Researchers have attempted to study the affect of prolonged cellphone radiation on the sexual behaviour of male rabbits, and have concluded that there could be some harmful effects. In the research, the results of which have been published in International Journal of Impotence Research, the researchers divided a group of 18 male rabbits into three groups of six. One of which was exposed to radiation from mobile phones on standby (ie no calls were sent or received) operating at 800MHz for eight hours per day for 12 weeks; one group had phones that were switched off; and the third group... |

Oregon's New Breed of Rabbit Farmer - Northwest independents try to keep up with demand

| I used to wrinkle my nose at the thought of eating rabbit. How could I eat the grade school classroom pet? Some vile rabbit patties I sampled as an exchange student in France only confirmed my aversion, and the meat stayed off my radar for several years -- until a menu at Portland's Simpatica Dining Hall compelled me to try it again. There, a toothsome rabbit sugo (or ragu), flecked with fennel pollen and spooned over fresh-cut pappardelle, proved so revelatory I vowed to try cooking rabbit at home. Fortunately, thanks to Oregon's handful of far-flung rabbit breeders, I wouldn't... |

His technique is guaranteed to place the patient in a trance, lying flat on its back with its paws in the air for up to ten minutes at a time. I feel all floppy: Cliff Penrose lulls a bunny into a trance-like state, its legs in the air Out for the count: Tammy after a stroke from Mr Penrose Mr Penrose, a 60-year-old grandfather,... |

| At 4ft 3in from nose to tail, Darius the Continental Giant has been crowned the world's biggest rabbit. And he's still growing. Darius, pictured with six-year-old Georgia Hadley, is only just over 12 months old and breeder Annette Edwards expects him to keep adding to his 3st 7lb bulk for at least another six months. That's good news for her greengrocer in Worcester because he already eats 12 carrots, six apples and two cabbages a day. |

Instead, he was handing out tickets. The creature, it turns out, was a police officer in a rabbit costume. The outfit was part of a sting operation targeting drivers who failed to yield at crosswalks, not to bunnies, but pedestrians. |

| Historically, there is a surge in the number of rabbits abandoned at Long BeachCityCollege’s (LBCC) Liberal Arts Campus (LAC) each Easter season. Hundreds of domesticated rabbits have been abandoned on campus in recent years which has created a host of problems, especially for the rabbits who have been released into the wild when they should be cared for as pets. “People are under the false impression that LBCC is a safe haven for rabbits so they tend to drop them off when they are no longer wanted as family pets,” said Jacque Olson, a LBCC employee who has provided care... |
The Easter Bunny Must Die
Saturday 26th of May 2012 12:09:58 PM
Posted by admin / Under Rabbit Hutch
Among the peeves I keep as pets, chief is my loathing of the Easter Bunny. There are many reasons to hate the Bunny. I will get into why in particular the Bunny, but first to some other pressing business. Why is it that religious holidays require mascots to make them palatable to secularists who otherwise wouldn’t give a fig about the celebration? While some mascots are cool in their own right, most add nothing and typically detract from the holiday’s expressed purpose. Take the leprechaun. Actually, don’t take the leprechaun. I am pretty sure that taking a leprechaun is bad...

The idea was to place the rabbit on its belly on straw-covered asphalt, press a broomstick across the back of its neck and swiftly yank up the rear legs. Done right, it’s a quiet and quick end. But it takes a little skill and a lot of fortitude, which some of the novices lacked. /snip American rabbit is typically raised on smaller farms, not... |

But this rabbit isn't the stuff of Peter Cottontail. Ralph the rabbit would likely frighten Peter by his immense size. Ralph weighs in at 42 pounds and is about two feet long -- bigger than most 3-year-old kids. And he's still growing, eating about four pounds of food a day. One could claim Ralph's the biggest bunny ever. However, it can't be officially verified because the Guinness Book... |
