Residents in Stockholm are divided over reports that rabbits are being used to make biofuel. The bodies of thousands of rabbits are fuelling a heating plant in central Sweden, local newspapers say. The city of Stockholm has an annual cull of thousands of rabbits to protect the capital's parks and green spaces.

This is my first posting and I aplogize that it is a vanity. But every morning I get up at 5:30 and check into what is happening on FR. My wife appears at about 6:30 and asks what's going on. After a few minutes of me railing, she always asks if there are any "fluffy bunny" stories. Normally, I would consider a perp getting shot, a fluffy bunny story, she is looking for something different. Stories about baby pink elephants are good. Srories about an old WW2 vet getting his H/S diploma are good. So could the FR team help...

HALSEY, Ore. One way or another, a Halsey woman promises to keep a popular cartoon book out of the Central Linn High School library.

Enjoying a leisurely wade in the waters of the Dutch undergrowth this grey heron decided to go in search of lunch when he came across this unsuspecting black rabbit. Undeterred by its size, the grey heron, the largest bird of its kind in Europe, swooped down and gobbled the rabbit up in one mouthful, as these pictures show.

Serial rabbit killer uses Google maps to find victims German police are concerned that the person killing rabbits may go on to kill human beings Roger Boyes in Berlin The roll call of victims is growing longer by the day. They have names like Rocco, Fussel, Marianne and Fluffy — and a five-man police unit has a file on each and every one. The so-called “bunny murders” — 40 domestic rabbits killed at night in their hutches, heads and sometimes paws sliced off, their bodies drained of blood — is stunning communities across western Germany. “Nobody knows where the killer...

At 4ft long and weighing three-and-a-half stone, Amy the rabbit is so big she has to sleep in a dog kennel. Her owners claim the three-year-old doe, from the Continental Giant breed, is the largest rabbit in the world after she outgrew her mate Roberto, who took the title in 2004. The Guinness Book of World Records stopped handing out awards to large animals in that year for fear it would encourage owners to overfeed their pets. But Annette Edwards, who owns the rabbits, said she had not heard of a rabbit beating Roberto's record therefore as Amy is larger...

President Bush and first lady Laura Bush, accompanied by the Easter Bunny, kick off the start of the White House Easter Egg Roll, Monday, March 24, 2008, on the South Lawn at the White House in Washington. Jenna Bush, the daughter of U.S. President George W. Bush, roars as she enacts one of the monster characters of the book "Where the Wild Things Are" during her book reading for children at the annual Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, March 24, 2008.

He has been seen on grilled cheese sandwiches, in windows and in clouds, and now Jesus has been seen on a pancake. Marilyn Smith was making a pancake a couple of weeks ago. As she was sprinkling it with chocolate powder, the Port St. Lucie woman noticed two figures in the grill marks. To her and her daughter, they appeared to be Jesus and Mary. So, after holding onto it for a few days, they decided to put it up for auction on eBay. The starting bid was $35. when the auction ended just before midnight last night, the winning...

(AP) A pet rabbit named Sugar Bunny was stolen from a preschool and fliers protesting circus animal acts were left in its empty cage. The preschool's children gathered in a circle Monday to remember Sugar Bunny. "We talked about how some people have different ideas about animals," said teacher Lori Peters. "Some people don't think they should be in cages." Sugar Bunny vanished from the Community Building Children's Center on Saturday, teachers said. "Somebody stoled him," 5-year-old Zion told The Spokesman-Review, which gave only the first names of him and other children in a report on the heist. "I'm sad."...

I have disliked Dick Vitale for a long time and always thanked God for whoever invented the mute button when he appeared on TV. He is a pompous, egotistical jerk who would make a better barker at a carnival than sportscaster. I've now upgraded him to "despised" because of his spilling of information told to him in confidence during a discussion with coach Billy Donovan. Never mind whether he knew he was on the air or not. "Confidential" means exactly that. Vitale should have kept his mouth shut, period. CLIFF HARRISON Winter Haven

A Colossal Leap of Faith In Fight Against Famine North Koreans See Potential in German Breeder's Giants By Craig Whitlock Washington Post Foreign Service Friday, February 2, 2007; A10 EBERSWALDE, Germany -- Few people raise bigger bunny rabbits than Karl Szmolinsky, who has been producing long-eared whoppers since 1964. His favorite breed, German gray giants, are the size of a full-grown beagle and so fat they can barely hop. Last year, after the retired chauffeur entered some of his monsters in an agricultural fair, word of his breeding skills spread to the North Korean Embassy in Berlin. Diplomats looked past...

How to Install an Internal Modem on system Installing an internal modem is not an easy task. You have to open the computer to install modem cards. Given steps applies to all computer system. Shut down the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices from the computer, then remove the computer's cover. Find a slot that matches the pins.

June 4, 2006 -- The pink Energizer Bunny better watch its back. Electronics giant Panasonic, looking to crack the $4 billion disposable-battery market here, is taking aim at the fluffy-tailed advertising icon. In an effort to promote its year-old Oxyride Extreme Power batteries - aimed at use in MP3 players and cameras and are supposed to last longer than the alkaline batteries hawked by the bunny - Panasonic launched an "educational" campaign called "Neuter Your Bunny."

Today in Odd History, President Jimmy Carter was attacked by a rabbit during a fishing trip in Plains, Georgia. The rabbit, which may have been fleeing a predator, swam toward his boat, "hissing menacingly, its teeth flashing and nostrils flared." President Carter was forced to swat at the vicious beast with a canoe paddle, which apparently scared it off. Upon his return to the White House, Carter told his staff about the furry amphibian's assault. Most of them refused to believe him, insisting that rabbits can't swim (although since most mammals can swim, there's no reason to believe that rabbits...

It had to happen: Washington's culture wars have now reached the Easter Bunny. Next Monday, some 200 gay families are planning to attend the annual White House Easter Egg Roll to showcase themselves to the nation and President George W. Bush. But some religious conservatives say the families are "crashing" the public event and exploiting children for political ends. -snip-

It sounds like a job for Wallace and Gromit. A "monster" rabbit has apparently been rampaging through vegetable patches in a small village in northern England, ripping up leeks, munching turnips and infuriating local gardeners. In an uncanny resemblance to the plot of the hit animated film "Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit," angry horticulturists in Felton, near Newcastle, have now mounted an armed guard to protect their prized cabbages and parsnips. "They call it the monster. It's very big -- it's nearly the size of a dog," said Joan Smith, whose son Jeff owns one of...

LONDON (AFP) - In a tale reminiscent of the last Wallace and Gromit movie, furious villagers in northeast England have hired armed guards to protect their beloved communal vegetable gardens from a suspected monster rabbit. Leeks, Japanese onions, parsnips and spring carrots have all been ripped up and devoured by the mystery were-rabbit -- prompting the 12 allotment holders in Felton, north of Newcastle, to hire two marksmen with air rifles and orders to shoot to kill. "It is a massive thing. It is a monster. The first time I saw it, I said: 'What the hell is that?'" the...

The PC movement has run amok and is now infecting NH. The town of Milford won't use the term "Easter" for the Easter egg hunt, and have chosen the term "annual spring egg hunt"... The highlights: Easter eggs? Not in Milford Rec commission's hunt will bear secular name 'spring' By Daymond Steer - Cabinet staff The Cabinet - April 6, 2006 MILFORD — Conventional wisdom says if it hops like a bunny, it’s probably a bunny, but the town’s Recreation Department has decided that when it invites children to collect brightly colored plastic eggs the day before Easter, the event...

Marshmallow Peeps, the popular Easter candy made of sugar, corn syrup and gelatin, have become a new symbol of protest in St. Paul these days. The "Vision of Peace," a 36-foot, 60-ton onyx City Hall statue of American Indians, has become the stage for a peculiar form of civil discourse. Since last week's decision to kick the Easter Bunny out of a City Council office, a handful of employees have ringed the statue with the spongy chick- and rabbit-shaped candies. Two laminated signs even announce the statue's temporary new moniker — "Vision of Peeps."

March 25, 2006 -- Here's the opening sentence from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star-Tribune: ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A small Easter display was removed from the City Hall lobby on Wednesday out of concern that it would offend non-Christians. The story went on to explain that a secretary decorates her area, which is apparently near or in the office lobby, for each holiday. This time it was "a cloth Easter bunny, pastel-colored eggs and a sign which said 'Happy Easter.'" This, apparently, enraged the city's human rights director because it negated, damaged or threatened somebody's human rights. This tower of...

March 3, 2006 Berkeley, California This week we made real progress in the war against hunting. It all started with my offhand remark to some Bambi-killing Neanderthal that I'd consider hunting to be a sport when the prey is also armed. Scooter overheard this and paid a visit to a friend who designs human prosthetics and had him adapt a brain-triggered mechanism that could be linked with a firearm, and voila, the Hunter-B-Gon(TM) was born! Just like the prosthetic hand that grips when signaled by the brain, this trigger mechanism is activated by a small probe in the part of...

On one of the Muhammad cartoon threads, someone posted a variation on the "I don't know what you're talking about, so here's a bunny with a (blank) on its head." Instead of the popular pancake, it had an image of one of the Muhammad cartoons on its head. Does anyone know where I can find it?

A large and unusually bold hare was apparently so irritated when a dogsled team entered its territory that it went on the attack, in an otherwise peaceful forested area of northern Norway. Wenche Offerdal, who was driving the dogsled team in the Reisadalen area of Troms County, had never seen anything like it. She told newspaper Nordlys that she and her team of huskies met the hare while travelling between Saraelv and Seima Saturday evening. The hare appeared fully grown and quite aggressive.

'Easter' Bunny Gives Way To 'Spring' Bunny Some Local Malls Go P.C. For Religious Holiday Customers at local area malls are being taken by surprise to find that the Easter Bunny they've come to know and love now has a new name. In fact, some local malls now refer to the Easter icon as the "Spring Bunny." However, some customers don't like the new trend. "It makes me sad, because I think Easter is really important. The message is important," Plano mother Deidra Klemm said. "And I think it's wrong to call him the Spring Bunny. Let's just say what...

NHPTV to air cartoon with lesbian moms By Karen Dandurant kdandurant@seacoastonline.com DURHAM - Cartoon character Buster Baxter has won another battle in support of promoting diversity.

Even if there had been no cartoon bunny teaching children lesbian appreciation, PBS should cease getting federal dollars. Even if PBS had never planned to distribute a cartoon episode in which a bunny named Buster gives his youthful audience a lesson in lesbian appreciation, the federal government ought to decide to gradually quit supplying the TV network with 15 percent of its revenues. The issue of funding has become more intense of late because of the bunny flap and the concerns of some about leftist programming, but also because ratings are drooping and corporate support is lagging, it's reported. Next...

John Kerry in the famous ,"bunny suit" will be posted sometimes this evening on http://mediaarchive.ksc.nasa.gov.Check back for more details as they become available. Freeper comment: (This is from a certain Floridian newspaper this afternoon....developing.....) The full story is at: http://www.floridatoday.com/topstories/072904bunny.htm

Just heard her say that to Brit Hume. She says that he put on the suit with the understanding that no photos would be taken. Now this shows up in the press. Brit asks, "Are you saying this is a dirty trick?" Her response "What do you think?" If so, then why is Kerry smiling in the photo for the camera? How dumb do they think the voters are?

This is just a test, sorry to bother everyone.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Their droning love songs have faded, the skies are free of their tumbling flights and the carcasses that littered sidewalks have washed away. The Brood X cicadas, vintage 2004, are gone. But in the trees of several mid-Atlantic and Midwest states, the next generation is just beginning its 17-year life. Within the next few weeks, billions of eggs deposited in tree branches will hatch and rain down tiny white nymphs no bigger than sesame seeds with beady red eyes. They will burrow through the dirt to tree roots and won't emerge as adults until 2021.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - A computer specialist has lost his job at the state Department of Corrections because he portrayed a customer at a Nevada brothel for a television show. James Wood and his wife, Amy, were actors in an HBO program about the Moonlite Bunny Ranch east of Carson City. Wood said he was within six days of completing his one-year probation period at the department when he received notice he wouldn't be retained "for moral reasons." Glen Whorton, assistant director of the state Department of Corrections, said in an e-mail to Keith Munro, legal counsel to Gov....
