"Dee Randall" wrote in message ... For real? http://tinyurl.com/zoq53 Dee Dee I had a high school friend that had two pet rabbits that were kept in the yard of her country home. I would say they were as large as the rabbit in that picture. I never did know if they were a special breed, but lifting one was definitely a hard thing to do. Janet |

Janet My dad's older sister, Aunt Ada, had a litterbox-trained rabbit as a pet. Wasn't a huge rabbit like this one, but the bunny had the run of the house in Ohio. Didn't weigh anything like that one, though. Jill |

Indeed, that picture was at a peculiar angle and the rabbit looked monsterous. But he is a hoss! |

The trick is not to let the camera "see" that your arm is stretched forward.

Things closer to the camera look disproportionately large, so don't clutch the fish against your chest, hold it out toward the camera. My BIL's king salmon was large, but in the photo it was huge. :-) -aem |

These must be their great, great, great, grandchildren. As a fan of corny 50'/60's science fiction I can tell you there was such a movie. Can't remember the name of it except I don't think it had anything to do with rabbits. It maybe took place in Texas and was probably filmed in the 60's. I think they electrocuted them all on the railroad tracks. Janet |
