Uh uh, Little Hawk- rabbits are NOT always gentle to other species. My brother used to raise rabbits, allowing them to run free in a fenced compound shared with chickens.

One buck rabbit and one rooster developed a feud. One day my brother was out there and here came a panicked bleating rooster leaping and running- behind him at full bore came the rabbit, feathers sticking out of his mouth.

laoise, it is best to excerpt a bit from the story when a link to the rest of it is available. The Joe Clones sometimes come along and cut out stories when they're too long.

Rabbits are classic trickster characters, celebrated for their overt sexuality, their running speed, their ability to get into (and out of) trouble. American Indian cultures use a large number of tricksters like the rabbit (or coyote or bluejay or others--it isn't exclusively rabbits) in their stories. And the Brer Rabbit stories are a classic Euramerican appropriation of the African (slave) and Choctaw (Indian) trickster stories. They are credited to Joel Chandler Harris, when it would probably be more accurate to suggest that they were collected by and edited by Harris.

Until the advent of missionary colonization, the trickster was generally a god in the American Indian pantheon, but was quickly demoted by missionaries.

This is in the "for what it's worth" category, of course!

Boo! It's the Bunny Man!
30-Year Legend Still Spooks Visitors to Fairfax County Bridge
By Don Oldenburg
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, October 31, 2003; Page C01


Angie Proffitt says she'll never forget her first visit. She was 14 and it was the '70s. Her boyfriend wanted to scare her, and the dark tunnel under a railroad bridge at a dead-end road was the ideal place.

Parked near the bridge, Proffitt recalls she noticed two children at the tunnel opening. She watched them and suddenly, poof! They disappeared, she says.

"I'm saying, 'Oh my God!' And seconds later the children were at the back window of the car looking right at me," she says. "I was hysterical."

Proffitt heard of Bunny Man Bridge years later and realized that was it. She returned six times. "The bridge is haunted, I do know that," says Proffitt, who lives in Strasburg, Va., and often visits houses and places said to be haunted. "Those children were victims. They died there."

The legend of Bunny Man Bridge has evolved in Northern Virginia over the past 30 years the way most scary stories do -- kernels of truth transform frightening rumors into macabre tales where the location's ripe for fright.

In one version, the Bunny Man story begins in western Fairfax County in 1905, at a mental institution near Clifton, where the bridge was built. The state demolished the asylum and bused convicts to Lorton. Two escaped and hid in the woods.

Residents found carcasses of half-eaten rabbits for weeks. Then one of the inmates was found hanging by a noose from the bridge. The other convict escaped to become the "Bunny Man."

Then there's the '70s story about the child, or parent, who dressed up like a bunny, killed his family, then hanged himself from the bridge. Other tales, same period, report a maniac wearing a bunny suit attacking people with a hatchet, and two children killed by a local hermit there, and teens found disemboweled there -- in all, 28 horrible deaths are said to have happened at the bridge!

Anyone who goes to the bridge at midnight on Halloween dies a gruesome death! The story even appeared two years ago on the Fox Family Channel's "Scariest Places on Earth" show: Want to see the Bunny Man? Stand in the tunnel and repeat "Bunny Man" three times. He'll appear like Little Bunny Foo Foo on steroids.

The whitewashed Bunny Man Bridge is on Colchester Road outside Clifton. In daylight, it's a single-lane tunnel, 60 feet long, with strange acoustics. In the blackness of night, it's a dead end where homes hide behind thick woods, where crickets chirp like racing heartbeats, frogs cry like babies and the stream murmurs. Peaceful as a graveyard.

Steve Sucher of Springfield says it's creepy. Years ago he would drive by the area going home from work and keep his windows rolled up. "The road is poorly lit, narrow and curvy, which makes one nervous anyhow. But I would get a feeling of dread," says Sucher, 35, a paranormal research hobbyist who doesn't buy the Bunny Man story. "I would get weird vibes but I can't explain why."

There are reports that Fairfax County police maintain video surveillance of the bridge. A sign used to warn: "Under Surveillance." Cops are said to pull up soon after visitors arrive. Supposedly, surveillance footage has caught strange phenomena.

Julie Zyvoloski says police showed up in minutes when she visited in March. "The story is believable to a point. Someone escaping. Eating rabbits to survive. Someone hanged," says Zyvoloski, who grew up in Annandale and lives in Florida. "But I haven't found any proof of it."

Neither has Brian Conley. "If you mean, is there any truth to any of the rumors to anybody being murdered, or anything paranormal, I have found no evidence. I believe that to be bogus," he says.

As the Fairfax County Public Library historian and archivist, Conley has researched the legend's origins over 11 years, collecting stories and searching through crime reports and newspaper accounts. He found none of the county's murder cases matched the Bunny Man saga and no murders occurred at the bridge.

In his report, titled "The Bunny Man Unmasked," he said no insane asylum ever existed in Fairfax County and Lorton Prison was built five years after the convicts were supposedly moved there. Police video surveillance? No power within 600 yards of the bridge.

But Conley did find two stories in The Washington Post from October 1970 that he believes fed the folk tale. "There was on at least two occasions a man in a bunny suit throwing hatchets at people," he says.

Nobody was killed. Both incidents took place in suburban Virginia. And soon rumors of a killer in bunny clothing spread to Maryland and West Virginia. "It took only a couple weeks before the kids are telling stories," he says.

Conley speculates the gruesome rumors stuck to the bridge because it was a good place to get frightened. "You could go under that bridge and there was nothing there except a great place to party," he says. "This is the kind of story that you'd tell if you're back there partying. In terms of how urban legends get started, this is a real beaut."

Urban legend expert Jan Harold Brunvand says such monster or maniac stories are common. He mentions the Mothman legend in West Virginia, made into a movie last year, and classic tales such as "The Hook," "The Killer in the Back Seat" and "The Hairy-Armed Hitchhiker" are widespread.

"Often they are about a deformed and insane person who suffered some kind of electrical, chemical or explosive accident, then retreated to the woods where he terrorizes locals. Like Bunny Man, their primary audience is teenagers," says Brunvand, author of "The Truth Never Stands in the Way of a Good Story."

In downtown Clifton, Melissa Bettius, 20, says, "All the high school kids this Halloween are going to Bunny Man Bridge even though you're not supposed to."

She works at Noodles 'n' Noggins, a shop on Main Street, but the 2003 high school grad says she has been to the bridge often. "It was scary," she says. "Supposedly on Halloween, somebody in a bunny suit does show up!"

The Haunted Trail at the Park is the Halloween fright hike for trick-or-treaters that has become a tradition. Every year someone creeps around the trail dressed as the Bunny Man.

Tom McNamara, owner of the Clifton General Store, denies it's him despite what some people say. "No," he says bluntly.

Anything to the legend?

"Bunk, totally false," he says.

Tom Peterson's front yard along Main Street displays a fake cemetery to entertain Halloween ghouls. One headstone reads "Axe Murderer Bunny Man" with the parting words: "I'll be back!"

Peterson says last year he drove his children, ages 8 and 12, to the bridge, stopped in the tunnel and turned off the car lights. "My kids screamed!" laughs the Robinson High School teacher. "It's terrifying because of the stories they've heard. Every one around here knows about the Bunny Man."

Officer Courtney Young, spokeswoman for the Fairfax County police, assures that no heinous crimes have happened at the bridge. "We get the usual kind of calls for juvenile trespassing or suspicious vehicles down in that area," she says.

But Halloweeners deciding to cross that bridge when they get to it tonight will find someone ominous waiting. Fairfax County police this week decided to close down the bridge for Halloween and "run out" all gawkers.

So take Alex Picciano's word for it. "It was scary but not that scary," says the Oakton High junior, who went to Bunny Man Bridge the other night with five friends. On the way home, they rented "The Blair Witch Project" and really got scared.

"It would've been a lot scarier," he says, "if we had watched the movie first."

Rabbits are destroying our Roman heritage, lucky the fat bunnies are not resposible for the tunneling mentione below.

Rabbit invasion puts Roman forts under siege
By Auslan Cramb, Scotland Correspondent
(Filed: 26/10/2004)

Rabbits are threatening to destroy forts and watchtowers built by the invading Roman legions 2,000 years ago.

Archaeologists say burrows have undermined about 60 defensive sites in Scotland, and some structures are in danger of collapse.

The large fort at Ardoch, near Braco in Perthshire, established about 80AD, is one of the worst-affected sites.

Established more than 40 years before Hadrian's Wall, it is the earliest example of a Roman frontier fort in Britain and was one of the largest in the country, covering six acres.

Historians believe it was built at the time of the Battle of Mons Graupius, between the Caledonians and the forces of the Roman governor of Britain, Gnaeus Julius Agricola.

Hundreds of rabbits have now created burrows inside its defensive dirt ramparts.

David Woolliscroft, of Liverpool University, who has been working on the site for more than 15 years, said it was "only a matter of time" before it was damaged beyond repair.

"Rabbits have caused a visible deterioration in Ardoch even in the relatively short space of time I have been working there," he said.

"It is a similar story at Roman sites across Scotland. Some have already been devastated by the burrowing. The earliest forts were made of timber and turf, so they are ideal for rabbit warrens.

"Unfortunately, all that burrowing means the different layers of soil get jumbled together. As the archaeological deposits get churned up, it destroys our ability to understand the history of the site.

"Rabbit holes also open up the insides of the structure to the elements, which dramatically increases the damage done by wind and rain erosion.

"Ardoch is without question the best preserved Roman fort in Scotland, and it would be a tragedy if it too was to be destroyed by rabbits."

Mr Woolliscroft said that unless the population was brought under control, Ardoch would become "virtually useless" as an archaeological site.

Historic Scotland recently conducted an investigation into the damage done by rabbits and other mammals, and a spokesman said it was in negotiation with the owners of the fort in an attempt to reduce rabbit numbers.

"Many archaeological sites are protected by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act. Unfortunately the Act is not widely understood in Scotland's rabbit warrens," he said.

Poor Jimmy Carter was under a veritable curse during his presidency. Imagine getting attacked in a canoe by a rabbit of all things! It doesn't look good in a society brought up on juvenile macho fantasies like Dirty Harry and the Terminator. Now, if he'd been attacked by an alligator or a bear or something, that would have looked good. I still wonder how much the Republican party paid that rabbit. :-) The Democrats should hire a guinea pig to go after George Bush.

On the other hand, I for certain sure would not want a rabbit trying to climb into my canoe. It is not a good idea to get close to any animals that are acting contrary to their normal behavior.

There was another film about giant rabbits. "Night of the Lepus". The special effects involve people getting big fluffy stffed rabbits thrown at their throats. It wasn't made as a joke either. Stuart Whitman, Janet Leigh, Rory Calhoun and DeForest Kelley all got themselves involved in it!
There's a great scene at a drive-in movie where the rabbits are about to attack. The movie-goers have not heard of the giant-rabbit escape from the nearby laboratory (or even that the lab. has produced them) but they all obediently turn on their lights when told to by a message flashed on the screen. The message is something like: "There's a big herd of giant killer-rabbits heading this way. Would you all please turn on your lights". They all do. No questions. No funny looks at each other. I love that little bit! Joy

We recently lost our giant white lop eared rabbit called Billy. I don't think he was quite as big as Roberto, but couldn't have been far behind. Despite rumours to the contrary expressed in this thread, Rabbits are the most gentle and sociable of creaturs.
Billy was friendly, and the only problem was that he was contantly surrounded by a mist of white fur which blocked up the vacumn cleaner. (even wroteof a Dyson) we used to vacumn him daily. He was happy to play the part of a sheepskin rug and is sadly missed.
Fortunatley, we still have two of his offspring and the Dam. Named Wesly, Lara and Bones repectively.
They make fine companions and are sociable. They live outside but show some interest in becomming House Rabbitts.

As a sociology student years ago, I(and others from the class) met an aging prisoner in the Arkansas Prison system. He had been allowed to breed rabbits for many years, largely to keep him away from the rest of the inmate population.(Trust me, you wouldn't have wanted to know him, or to see him released). He had developed some grotesque rabbit-things, at least approaching Roberto in size, but with little pin heads. Yeesh, why did I have to remember that...

Okay, here's another giant rabbit link. Apparently they made some horror movie in 1977 about giant rabbits. Listen to this hilarious summation of the plot:

Giant Rabbit, Run! (1977) - Horror

"A frightening twist on the Updike novel, in this sci-fi slice of life, giant rabbits are produced by everyday losers, who dream of selling the fur to get going. But when the giant rabbits escape their hutches, everyone's lives go up in smoke. Film is notable for showing giant rabbits destroying a town as they fornicate like, well, rabbits."

I direct you to the link which, alas, does not show a giant rabbit, but a tacky starlet with a giant bosom. Why this is, I have no idea, but it's certainly a disappointment, another example of gratuitious cheesecake getting in the way of fine art:

This brings to mind recipes for rabbit. Of course, any recipe incorporating the aforementioned rabbit would require a big frying pna or stew pot. Basically, take a normal recipe and multiply everything by fifteen.

Not if I didn't have 32 pounds of carrots to appease him. That little thumper is HUGE!

Yes, it's impressive, isn't it? You wouldn't want to meet that sucker in a dark alleyway.

Will this thread be a prelude to the Dance of the Seven Veils? Where is Blind Drunk in Blind River when he's REALLY needed. That is no rabbit--I don't know what it IS, but it's no rabbit. It's a friggin' sofa.

Found this while looking for something else:

"At a whopping 16kg, and measuring over a metre-long, two-year-old Roberto could be the biggest bunny ever.

His owner, Annette Edwards, said: "He can't fit into a normal size hutch, and even has to sleep on a dog's bed."

A Guinness World Records spokesman said Roberto was the biggest bunny they'd heard of, but they no longer awarded records to big animals."
