Giant Bunny

Sun 02.19.2006 @ 9:29 pm

German Giant, one of the biggest bunnies on the face of the planet, tips the scales at 17 pounds - almost seven pounds more than the average rabbit of his breed. And he's still growing, according to German breeder Hans Wagner (above), whose hair-raising angora hare was the highlight of a recent rabbit fair in Berlin. On all paws, German Giant, named for the world's largest rabbit breed, stands 17 inches tall. And standing on his hind feet, he's more than three feet tall. To find out how unusual Wagner's wabbit is, The Post contacted Six Bells Rabbitry in Arvada, Colo. "That's a huge animal. That's amazing," said breeder Michelle Jones. "In the States, it's hard to get them past 12 to 15 pounds." How did German Giant get so big?
"I don't feed him an unusual diet," said Wagner. "He goes through more than his brothers and sisters, but he eats the same food mix. His favorite food is actually lettuce. He can never get enough of it." Herr Hare is unusual in another way, he noted. "Unlike some other rabbits I've had, he's really a gentle character - a gentle giant."

Test anxiety

Wed 02.08.2006 @ 6:30 pm

You know, I'd never thought I'd be the type of person to freak out over an exam but today I came pretty close to becoming a nutcase.
First my alarm didn't wake me up, at all. So I ended up waking up at 12:15 with the 1pm curtain call for the exam. I get to class just at the nick of time, and by just I mean @ 1:01pm.
Second I forget part of my homework which was due before the test. He grades on completion and I had 3 chapters due. I forgot the 3rd one, which I left in front of the computer, all neatly finished.
Third I forgot to either staple or paperclip the two chapters I DID have with me, so I ended up making an ugly fold to hopefully keep them together.
Fourth I have no idea how I did on the actual exam... bites lower lip
Fifth, for my next class (social psych) I had a study review due which I did do and remembered to bring but it wasn't stapled or papercliped either. I hope hope hope hope it doesn't get lost in rest of the papers.
And through it all I discovered where my anxiety weakness lies. It's pretty easy to know if you become aware of what you do when your stressed. I for instance reached for my ipod and turned it on on full blast while I drove over to MacDonalds for a happymeal. If I don't watch myself I'll turn into Oprah, circa 1990's.
