An enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.

The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy’s Piedmont region.
Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was “knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool”.
Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: “It’s supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can’t help but smile.”
And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around – they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly.
The giant rabbit is expected to remain on the mountain side until 2025.

CNN just sent out the full transcript of the New Orleans Mayor’s emotional and (understandably) expletive-laden interview on local radio yesterday: “excuse my French everybody in America, but I am pissed.”

Added “Briefcase full of Blues” to my mp3 player. The late 1970s going on 1985. Hard to believe there’s a 25th anniversary dvd of the movie coming out this month.

7523 – 182 Days into 2005. 183 Days to go. Halfway there.
VS interrupted my vacation yesterday for about a half hour for input on how to recover a lost document. I missed my bus to my blood appointment, but she was kind enough to haul me over after being a pain in the butt.
The document was never recovered.
Something about the situation that made me think was when I asked her how long would it take her to recreate the doc.. she said she’s just going to do it on Tuesday.
If it could wait, why did she call me on my vacation?
That topic will come up in conversation before morning meeting.
Some chores to do this morning and then I can spend the day with MP. Good incentive to get moving.
