It's good to start the morning with a laugh. Now, whenever the stress builds, I'll see those sloow-hopping bunnies... accept your well-earned reward, Keith!

Dude, I remember "Lepus" from when I was a kid, and even then it didn't scare me, but boy was it fun! I mean, you see these bunnies running (hopping?) in slow motion to make them appear more menacing, and obvious bad FX are used to make them appear to be giants. But at least sometimes those bunnies are *real*. When the giant dummy rabbits attack people and slash them with the teeth, it is camp heaven!

As I said in the forum where I first found this link, it's another case of the kids being left alone in the room with Internet access again.
