Giant Rabbits To Feed North Korea
iamdrscience writes with news of an East German pensioner who breeds rabbits the size of dogs. Karl Szmolinsky won a prize for breeding Germany's largest rabbit, at 23 lbs., in 2006. News photos reached the North Koreans, who asked through their embassy whether Szmolinsky would be willing to sell them some as foodstocks — each rabbit yields about 15 lb. of meat. A deal was struck and Szmolinsky will be traveling to North Korea in April to help them set up a breeding program. (The photos in the article use the most extreme, contrived camera angles to make the rabbits look even more huge.)
welcome our Giant Rabbit Overlords
In Australia the rabbits are even bigger - I think they call them 'roos'...
Oh well, what the hell...
who breeds rabbits the size of dogs.
Why don't the North Koreans just continue to eat dogs?
Trolling is a art,
Can anyone else see next month's headline? ... Giant Rabid Rabbits Wreck Havoc on North Korean Village.
The giant rabbit thing sounds straight out of a cheesy horror film. I think I would go with micro rabbits instead. You could breed them by the millions and just eat them whole like little snacks. They might be a little furry and a little crunchy, but at least there is less danger they will turn out evil and eat your children.
Are they made of wood?
Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.
What happens when (not if) N. Korea weaponizes these giant rabbits? Possibly by irradiating them and turning them into an even larger and more fearsome animal (sort of like African killer bees, but with big floppy death ray shooting ears). Seriously folks. Won't someone think of the children?
I disagree. I've made it plenty of times to California being only able to shoot and kill rabbits.
PS we used a raft to get past the last river.
PPS my wife died of cholera
Nothing to see h--Oh. Wow. Nevermind.
I'd say that the N.Koreans will be breeding these wabbits to release into the DMZ (detonate the mines) as a response to everyone laughing at their low-yield nuclear capability demonstration. Kim Jong whatever his name is got the idea from Snakes On A Plane. Think of the global (not to mention local) impact of thousands of bunnies being blown-up in the DMZ (and seen on CNN). Only a evil genius would bring the world to the brink this way. F@#king brilliant, I with I had thought of it first!
Well, at least we know that North Korea is now safe from Jimmy Carter. ;)
It's true I tell you, feller at work's next door neighbour read it in the paper.
With the increase in vegetarians, maybe a good crop of swedes could make money?
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
