The patient I got him from went out to feed his rabbits, a pair of Flaemish(sp?) giant rabbits one morning and found a strange rabbit curled up with them.
He couldn't find the owners, or someone to take him. So I took him.
Well, it turns out one of his rabbits is pregnant.
Kinda proud of Stu, actually.
He's a normal sized rabbit. So, not only did he climb that mountain, he knocked it up!
Are you now responsible for half the litter?
Nope.

Nope.
Might want to consider it, could start a whole new breed line.

Right, giant bodies with little heads, and vice-versa.

At the height of the pandemic, a Vietnamese entrepreneur installed ATM-style machines in Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, and Da Nang to dispense free rice to anyone who needed it.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Remember the old claim that the phrase "rule of thumb" comes from a law about wife-beating?
It's absolute bollocks. For what it's worth, its first linkage with domestic violence came from a supposed ruling by Sir Francis Biller in 1782 saying it, but:
A) it was mocked to Hell and back even at the time,
B) There was no evidence that such a ruling actually being made (putting it roughly in the same category as J.D. Vance's couch-fucking adventures), and
C) It was already used for at least almost a century prior to that.
It was more likely related to, well,
Before units of measure were standardised, people in the cloth trade used the width of a finger as an approximation of an inch.
Indeed, using Google Translate to translate the words "thumb and inch" into many Romance languages, they're invariably either identical or clearly related. The only exceptions I've found so far are Romanian (but that seems to only be because they don't even have a word for "inch") and Sicilian (which is clearly just translating "Centimeter" for "inch", unless they just happened to come up with the name "centimetru" before the formation of the metric system).
