This is my gang, the Rabid Rabbits.  But don't worry, they're not dangerous.  Chocolate bunnies are delicious, and spend
most of their time trying to, um, reproduce.  So join the gang.  It's easy.  Just buy a t-shirt and wear it.  Hop to it!

I started with only 2 rabbit shirts.  They keep multiplying...  I shoulda seen that coming.  If this keeps up, I'll have more
bunnies than Hefner

Here's an idea for your casual day at work:  Rabid Rabbit Day.  Everyone orders their own Rabid Rabbit t-shirt, picking the
one that suits them best.  Contact me to let me know your business wants to do it, I'll put an ad on the page that the sale is
for your company's Rabid Rabbit Day.  So you could probably put it under your advertising budget.  If you have one person
ordering all the shirts at once, you can take advantage of the combined shipping and save more.  If you e-mail your
company logo, I can put it up during the sale.

Where credit is due.

Recently I was over at my
son Mike's house and
spotted the copy of Robert
A. Heinlein's "Tunnel in the
Sky" which I had given him.  
This is a book I read in
Junior High School in the
1960's, and Heinlein had
copyrighted in 1955.

This work of science fiction
had students training in
off-world survival skills
taking their final test
off-world.  Travel was
through a "Tunnel in the
Sky" (think StarGate!).

Something went wrong, and
instead of a short test, they
wind up marooned on this
planet.  Among the native
species are some
rabbit-like creatures that
they named "Dopey Joe's".  
During mating season, the
Dopey Joe's undergo a
severe attitude change,
becoming aggressive,
violent and VERY
dangerous.

This is probably the
genesis of the Rabid
Rabbits.  Few people have
original ideas, most are
inspired by something they
have seen, heard or read
elsewhere.  David Gerrold,
the author of one of the
most popular Star Trek
episodes, "The Trouble with
Tribbles", had a similar
problem.  Going back over
some old books, he
suddenly realized that his
"Tribbles" were inspired by
"The Rolling Stones", a
book that was copyrighted
in 1952.

By Robert A. Heinlein.

Hey, if you're going to steal,
steal from the best!

And as I implied above,
StarGate was probably
inspired in part by Robert
A. Heinlein also.  And they
might not have been aware
of the connection.

science fiction.  His works,
though dated in some ways
reading.  Heinlein by
scientific advances and
discoveries, still make great
reading.  Heinlein made
concentrated on the people
in the books, but always
made sure to get the
science and engineering as
iffy business at best)
correct as he could.  
(Predicting the future is an
iffy business at best)

So I'm sitting down to
re-read "Tunnel in the Sky",
and enjoy the talent of
Robert A. Heinlein once
again.  Who knows what
other memories this will
re-awaken?

I highly recommend reading
all of Heinlein's books.  
Who knows what current
books, shows and ideas
you will recognize as having
had their start in the works
of Heinlein?
