  3. New question: In the movie, we see the bunnies’ ears spinning like helicopter rotors. How is this physically possible? Is the top of the bunnies’ head a bit detached?

  4. 6- The red ball was actually something that started in my earlier movies. We had to make a short movie in class about a red ball rolling down a hill. I turned it into a dangerous weapon–it could make a person explode or knock people’s heads off. I guess the red ball has sort of become my signature.

  5. We have observed helibunnies before, but I always assumed that they rotated each of their ears in sync with the other, rather than using them exactly like a helicopter’s rotors. Clearly, further research is needed.

  9. Very good representation of bunny evilness. It’s a little too much like… wait, I forgot what it’s called! Dang. Well, it’s the movie where all the stick people die and there’s kamikaze watermelons and the word that makes a bomb go off, ziggyboogydoo. I’ve watched that movie so many times… Well, the stick people look like the stick people in that movie.

  49. Raynpho has just sent us a startling contribution to lagormorphologic scholarship:

    Dear GAPAs,

    I was browsing the internet the other day, when lo and behold, I came across a photo of a bunny. A fairly cute one at that.

    After just one quick glimpse, I suddenly realized I could not look away, for some strange reason.

    The picture suddenly changed, revealing the bunny’s true nature, and horrified, I clicked the “backspace” button on my browser before the HBP could do any real damage.

    However, I managed to quickly save the picture for identification purposes ONLY.

    *Look at your own risk, please. Potentially harmful material, not recommended for those easily susceptible to shades of neon rose.*

  78. (157) I know it’s hard not to lash back when someone says something that feels hurtful — especially when one feels as protective as we do of MuseBlog. But one of the advantages of a blog is that we can cool off before we write.

    In several of my early jobs I had to handle complaints from irate people, usually over the phone. Some of them would cuss me out and say some pretty dreadful things. But if I had ever lost my temper I would have lost my job, too. So I developed some skill in returning belligerence with sweetness. In almost every case the person backed down. One guy in particular, bent over backwards to be extra polite and considerate in all his later phone calls.

    The failures stung, of course. Some people seem to need to be combative and rude. But they really are rare. I’d rather give people the benefit of the doubt until they’ve proved themselves incorrigible. And even then, I find that I feel better by not letting them draw me into their game.

  120. if some deranged mind decided to create a hot pink bunny, they could do it naturally, without any splicing.
    you know why flamingos are pink?
    they eat pink food.
    you start with an arctic hare, which are white, an easy color to work with and change, and then you feed it food that you dyed pink.
    this will naturally change them pink.

    I call it Operation Pink Flamingo HPB-14 #1

    To the tune of “Cruella De Vil”

    Hot pink bunnies,
    Hot pink bunnies,
    if they don’t scare you, no evil thing will.
    To see one is to take a sudden chill.
    Hot pink, hot pink…
    They’re like some spiders waiting for the kill.
    The devils, hot pink bunnies.
    At first you think those bunnies are devils,
    but after time has worn away that,
    you come to realize
    they’re actually
    much worse than that!
    These vampire bats,
    These insane beasts,
    They oughta be locked up,
    and never released.
    The world was such a wholesome place until
    hot pink, hot pink bunnies.

  165. Nice comics! But physical bunnification (done directly by the bunnies) is pretty much the same as bunnification by proxy (chair, hat, etc.) All that happens is that the pink pigment gets injected into the victim, turning him or her pink and altering the victim’s DNA. Both of them require separate surgery to give the victim ears and such. Sometime I’ll look up the post that established that.
