I often wonder how much of our “written” ancient history was actually written as subtle humor but we have no other reference so we take it as true history.
I really like Danae’s version of the story. Total surprise.
Some teachers would see Danae as a disruptive element [a convenient generic description of children we don’t understand]. I found students like her were truly interesting and added a lot of life to my classrooms. Challenging? Yes! At times. But never dull.
The Catholic Church co-opted the spring fertility rites of the pagans as they spread north into Europe. Instead of Druids and maidens dancing around the Maypole we get bunnies with fancy eggs?1 I think I want to go back to being a Heathen, they had more fun.
Until I got down to the panel with the statue head in view, I wondered why a bunny was jumping on a red velvet cake, and who had set it on a mesa…and why.

At Christmas time, this gag could resurface, but with Christmas Island as the punchline.

A couple of different vowels can replace the “i” which are much more descriptive of the Hannity Channel.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story, unless you’re under oath.

I didn’t know there were rabbits on Easter Island.
Happy Easter, y’all.

Where are the little baskets, with the cellophane straw?
And this is just as reasonable as the story of Jesus and Easter, maybe more reasonable.
Remember boys and girls … always eat the ears of your chocolate rabbit first! Or you may end up living in Florida, you don’t want that, do you?

Not only does she explain how a bunny gets eggs, also how Easter Island was named! It’s the simplest explanation … so must be correct, right?

As usual, wonderful animal art. The expressions on the bunny’s face and body are fantastic. Bunny running up ‘hill’, adorable.

I always thought there was something funny about all those giant heads. Thanks for clearing that up for us, Danae.

Fux Spews would claim Easter Island’s votes were counted & their votes would have put the Dumpster over the top and winning last year.
