Oh, and as for your question about the bunny..

Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bunny had turned into a bowl of petunias, we should know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.

Funny thing is, I own and have actually read that book! (Or so I thought... but now I'm wondering if I didn't get all the way through it or if I've just forgotten parts.)

Anyway, now that you've explained it, I think it's *hilarious*. ;)

By the way, you are taking programmer fashion to new heights over on my site. Huzzah! :)

It's kind of a ripped picture of the original chocolate Easter bunny joke, but it's still funny. :-)
