Albrecht Durer
"A Young Hare" by Albrecht Durer
Albrecht Durer painted “A Young Hare” in 1502. In 1502 Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World. It was his fourth and final voyage. Journalism is termed the Fourth Estate — an expression originating during the French Revolution. Though the French Revolution began in 1789, French King Louis XVI was beheaded January 21, 1793, beginning the bloody Reign of Terror. The Tower of Terror is a Disney amusement parks simulated free-fall thrill ride based on the television series The Twilight Zone. The Twilight Zone was created and hosted by Rod Serling, and was broadcast from 1959-1964. In 1964 the movie The Nasty Rabbit was released, about a Russian plot to secretly infect US rabbits with a nasty, lethal bacteria. In 1767 Antonie van Leeuwenhoek first observed bacteria through a microscope of his own design. A microscope is a device used to view things too small to be seen by the naked eye. In the book of Genesis Adam and Eve were ashamed of their nakedness after eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and they sewed fig leaves together to fashion aprons to cover themselves. Hares do not eat figs.

Durer rocks.
The Nasty Rabbit has a 1.9 rating on 183 votes at IMDB. If you have actually watched this entire film, I would be mightily impressed.
The most delicious figs I’ve ever eaten were offered to me by an 80+ year-old woman from a fig tree on the Camino de Santiago. So, I am not a rabbit. Though there were times when I was a child that I wanted to be a rabbit, because Bugs Bunny moved so confidently and shrewdly through the world.
