Headline

The following headline at The Week caught my eye:

“How do you weaponize a rabbit?”

Now, anyone who knows much about rabbits—I mean actual rabbits rather than their popular image—knows that’s a silly question. They already come pre-weaponized.

The article itself is about using rabbits as a delivery system for tularemia as a weapon of war and is mildly interesting.

  • Now this book captures the true spirit of rabbititity. There’s a synopsis here which describes the book as “wildly inappropriate”.

    PD went exactly where I was going, and where Schuler MUST have intended!

    Dave,

    Not sure if it’s your end or my end, but the home page doesn’t load for me. I can navigate to individual blog pages, but the home page is completely blank. There might be a weaponized rabbit at work here….

  • I’m aware of it and working on it. It’s puzzling. It seems to be some bizarre interaction between my web host, CloudFlare (a proxy system), and Akismet (spam-blocking plugin).

    If I deactivate Akismet, I can reach my home page and get several hundred spam comments an hour. If I activate Akismet, I can’t reach my home page but I don’t get spam comments, either.

    Update

    While I work on the problem, I’ll add links to new posts here:
