Oh, and I thought it was "Largo al factotum," Figaro's aria from Il Barbiere di Siviglia.:-p :biggrin:
 
hahaha, I looked at this picture and I yawned
What a stupid picture :P
 
um...no...


whoops...just yawned...stupid picture
 
No yawn but I did giggle:biggrin:
 
You sure it's a yawn? Looks more like bunny is weally weally mad, and is about to bite the photographer. And why is that guy behind bunny tormenting and pinching him on the neck? Trying to get bunny to attack?:devil:
 
dammit! I yawned again... :x
 
Eep, look at those sharp, pointy teeth!

P.S. I think talking about yawning had more of an effect than the actual picture. (I've not yet yawned, though)

The picture didn't, but all the people talking about yawning did.

I *warned* you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you *knew*, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little *bunny*, isn't it?

And since you made fun of my math the other night, I'll point out that rabbits aren't rodents. They're lagomorphs. :-p And I thought Brewnog was the only one zoologically challenged around here with his bat birds. :rolleyes: :biggrin: :smile:

Wow- lagomorphs? Who knew...

I was inspired to seek out rabbit trivia:

http://www.rabbit.org/care/facts.html
Fact: Rabbits are not rodents. They are lagomorphs. Other lagamorphs include hares and pikas.
What the heck is a pika?:confused:
Fact: A well cared for house rabbit that has been spayed or neutered early in life has a life expectancy of 8 to 12 years of age.

Fact: The gestation period of a rabbit is about 31 days.

Fact: A group of rabbits is called a herd.
and one for chroot...
Fact: A group of rabbits lives in a warren.
I picture little bunnies nestled in chroot's sweater. awwwwrrr:shy: :smile:
