In the last two days, three people have sent me bunnalicious items for me to share with you:
(1) D. sends this Soviet air mail stamp featuring the Soyuz-5 spacecraft and a rabbit. She notes, "I'm not sure what role bunnies played in the Soviet space program, but it's good they were recognized." Indeed. My only guess is that the combination of a spacecraft and a hare is intended to evoke speed by air.
(2) Jen forwards this lovely little lolbun. It makes a nice (if strange) companion piece to the dormouse having his head stuck into a teapot in Alice.
(3) Robert sends this Slate "Explainer" about treatment for rabbit phobia that also includes a few more fun rabbit-fear links, including a discussion of Jimmy Carter's swamp rabbit drama. (Robert also makes a very pop culturally literate statement about a certain Buffy character's fear of rabbits that will have to wait until my mom catches up with her voracious viewing of the show. I think this idea is introduced somewhere in season 4, if wikipedia can be trusted.)

I love the picture of the bunny in the creamer. So sweet! The stamp is cool, too.
I'm glad there's no coffee in the cup in that picture!
Yes, bunnies should only be taken with tea, not coffee.
And bunny-coffee ice cream is right out!
If you're going to have bunny ice cream, it has to be Blue Bunny ice cream, I think. This bunny is clearly brown and hence, huh-uh.
