An example of Self Importance:
Herman the Giant German Bunny
Thu, May 18, 2006 - 10:35 PM
His name is Herman. Here is his story:
news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/h...4676904.stm
A man has been showing off his gigantic rabbit named Herman.
The mighty bunny weighs a massive 7.7kg, and his ears are a lengthy 21cm - almost as long as most pet rabbits are tall. And he is almost 1m tall.
The German Giant is even big for his breed, which usually tip the scales at around 6kg.
Herman lives in a specially built solid oak hutch and chomps his way through just over 2kg of food a day. His owner says his favourite snack is lettuce.
The giant bunny, who lives in Berlin with owner Hans Wagner, also takes a vitamin supplement to keep him healthy, and munches through a bale of hay a week.
Bred big
Herman could be the world's biggest rabbit, but Guinness World Records have stopped accepting entries because of fears people were over-feeding their pets.
German Giants do not exist in the wild, and have been developed by breeders.
They can live for as long as 12 years.
The end.
Oh...and I just found out about Giant Rabbit Rescue:

And about Rudi, who is even larger:

Yes, cute. But I can't look at this picture and not have Python in my head.
"Run Away! Run Away!" :) I mean, is just me, or does it look like he's about to take a chunk out of this guy's arm for holding him that way? |

My god, I can't believe Rudi's owner was going to *eat* him.
"Ya, Helga. Ve vill haf has-n-pfeffer for months!" I can't help thinking of Harvey, who I loved as a kid. But I've got to tell you, the photo you posted of Herman is more than a little intimidating. "Ve haf vays of making you hop!" |

"Bunnies! Bunnies! It must be bunnies!"
That's freakin' terrifying; it's like "Night of the Lepus" come to life.
