The Speculist

Good story!

I love that scene, it's the best scene in all the Python's work.

'For know ye, if ye be men of valour, that death awaits ye in the cave of Kyrbannoch...with big, pointy teeth...' {gesture with two fingers}

Class. Puts me in stitches every time, and must have seen it at least fifty.

This incident reminds me of the President Carter's bunny attack.

Apparently some of these rabbits can get a bit aggressive from time-to-time.

That encounter didn't play well for Carter. Some paper made a mock-up of the Jaws poster with a rabbit and called it "Paws."

So cute! There is also a recent (real!) story of a giant rabbit "terrorizing" farms in North England, eating their vegetables. These things can grow to be a meter long and as formidable as some dogs. The picture in this article is great, heh.

I love how the Speculist mixes bits like this in with the usual futurism stuff. I read lots of mainstream-ish newsfeeds, so I get to see "weird news" frequently, but it's funny how some of the best stuff I see actually comes from sites that are "meant" to be futurist/transhumanist.
