Bunnys & Pillows

Today's post involves pillow fights. You will be delighted. Take one, 1 minute of your time to see this educational video on how Bunnies invented pillows out of necessity!



You are very welcome.

Pop! goes my pom-pom

Before I start I must advise our readers that this is a British-located narrative in nature, so no complaints will be accepted - read at your own risk. Go protest against William and Kate somewhere else.

As I share this excellent historical fact with you, unwashed masses, I'm enjoying a delicious, very fizzy and also very cold glass of pop. And I have bunnies to thank for that! You see, a couple of hundred years ago British rabbits were desperately bored. They had every reason to be bored: terrible weather all year around, no movie theaters, romantic rubbish on paperbacks weren't naughty enough yet to catch your attention for more than 5 minutes... So they had to make do with what they had and get creative.

And what they did have was the meadows, rivers, carrots, berries and predators. A very lucky bunny discovered naturally carbonated water lakes, subsequently inviting tons of bunnies to share the bubbly pool. Bunnies are very ticklish (ask anyone) so that was an instant hit. A second bunny (a clever one, if I may add) started making fresh berry juice with that water, rapidly becoming a lagomorph hero of sorts. It was really an explosion of flavors in your mouth! So, much the same way today's soda commercials portray young peeps having a blast while they drink pop, the bunnies danced, played the piano and bounced around as if they were in a rave party when they consumed this berry drink. That was before they discovered beer, naturally.

So there you have it, bunnies did that too. You should thank them if you haven't done so already.

Bunnies invented pancakes

First evidence right here, more details on today's late night report.

Actually, there will be no report as the picture is self-explanatory.

2011

OH YES! 2011 is the year of the Rabbit. Really, this is important.

Real rabbit.

We should most definitely celebrate. I'll celebrate by sharing a quick fun fact about bunnies: they invented the modern calendar. That's why they get a whole year for themselves. It's true.

Newsflash!! Bunnies invented lobsters.

The evidence is clear: Bunnies invented lobsters. Google Image search never lies.

Yes, the Bunnies Did It team found that while searching for bunnies playing cards pictures.

Patience

This is a really odd find: apparently bunnies invented Solitaire (or Patience if you prefer, whatever). I'm not kidding. If you go on Wikipedia you'll see that its origins are supposed to be either Scandinavian or German, but my sources tell me that the game is actually the work of the imagination of very, very, terribly and desperatly bored french bunnies. You know, french bunnies, the ones with the extra long and fancy mustaches.

According to the Great Bunny Archives of Gaule, many and many years ago there was not terribly much to do for young bunnies in European forests. They'd spend most of the day learning traditional bunny trades (being fluffy, baking, sculpting and masonry). At night there was nothing much for them to do, but since they had lamps they thought they could kill some time reading... Unfortunately full books were expensive back them. Luckly a very much not-memorable Bunny whose name I forget one day found a deck of cards near a trail, presumably lost by some traveller. There you have it, bunnies now had access to card games!

Of course, bunnies had no idea of how to play black jack, poker or anything worth your while. Soon they lost interest in that useless pile of cards since it had no use for them - or so they thought at the time. That same Bunny whose name I can't recall and who obviously also didn't have any friends (he didn't shower often, which is something french bunnies could get away with but this dude was also allergic do perfume... so you can see the issue there) was the only one who insisted in coming up with a use for the deck of cards. After all, he did have his own lamp and lots of spare time in the evenings. So after spending long nights staring at the cards, shuffling them, trying to come up with anything, the best that he could do was to come up with Patience. Really. He was defective.

This particular bunny didn't make any friends because of that game as it did not catch on at the time with the young crowd, but old secretary Bunnies mildly enjoyed it and started playing it regularly instead of doing their job.

That tradition was carried on over the years, specially since Microsoft saw the time wasting potential and made the game extra-popular with the soon-to-be-fired masses.

It's all true!

If you notice, there's a new feature added to this website: a seal of truthfulness. We are certifiably bringing the real, 100% true truth about bunnies and their much valued contribution to humanity. About time we got the recognition that we deserve!

Thank you for you support and blind faith!

Love,
