Cute bunnies
Katie K's animal photo post reminded me of 2001 Web sensation and possibly the Internet's most famous rabbit, Oolong of Hokkaido, Japan.
Oolong's owner, who one suspects does not have a really active social life, loved to take pictures of his rabbit and had trained Oolong to balance things on his head. The website is almost entirely in Japanese, but clicking on the links will bring up photos of Oolong with various objects on his head. You haven't really experienced the Internet until you've seen a rabbit with pancakes on its head.
Sadly, Oolong passed away in 2003 at the age of eight. His owner has a new rabbit, Yuebing, who also has a website, with slightly more English than the original Oolong site.
And if all this doesn't sound entertaining enough for your procrastination needs, there's also the innocently intended but sometimes unfortunately worded photo captions, such as "I like licking then stroking."

hehehehe... love that the bunny has a pancake on his head in one shot and in the next he's wandering around in some drive-way behind a rather ominous-looking SUV (truly he is a talented dare-devil)
oh my god i'm starting to sound like the scary people on cuteoverload.com. Eek.
Screwed up my last post. I just wanted to say that I have been to the shrine that Yuebing visits here.
It seems that Yuebing's owner travelled all the way from Hokkaido to Kamakura so Yuebing could meet her sister Bun. I hope this guy occasionally goes to visit other human beings too.
Beautiful shrine, but I am not so sure how I feel about forced bunny-family reunions.
