From the country that brought you innovative ideas in home heating solutions, comes a new use for hossenfeffer:
"The bodies of thousands of rabbits culled every year from the parks in Stockholm’s Kungsholmen neighborhood are being used to fuel a heating plant in central Sweden."
Fine. But just don’t go looking for them in the cave of Kyre Banorg:
You've been warned.

A truly great post--and your link to the blog you ran so well brought up great cyber memories.
A killer rabbit, that brings back memories of our second worse president's tale of his encounter with a killer rabbit.
Jimmy Carter's 'Killer Rabbit' – 1979
While home fishing in Georgia during a summer when his popularity was at low tide, President Jimmy Carter's small boat was "attacked" by a mysterious swimming rabbit, which the president warded off with a paddle. Once leaked into print by Brooks Jackson of the Associated Press, the bizarre story captured the press's and the public's imagination, becoming a metaphor for Carter's hapless, enfeebled presidency. The incident encouraged Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's primary challenge to Carter's renomination, and it became a symbolic preamble to Carter's landslide loss in November 1980.
GG - That's really nothing new. I heard about this really old guy who smokes a pipe and wears pajamas all day in LA who heats his entire mansion with bunnies. No big deal you say? LA's not that cold? Well he started doing it in Chicago years ago and it worked so well he was able to buy a second one in LA. In today's economic environment and in view of the necessity for energy independence, I think we all should adopt this conservation model and get a couple or a few bunnies of our own for home heating. When I suggested this to my wife, she just said "Pig!", but I told her pigs might work but this is no time for innovation, let's use the tried and true model first. We can talk about other models later. She obviously thought it had merit because I can see she's been thinking about it by the way she looked at me as if in deep thought. That was an hour ago and she is still staring at me--and she must be getting cold because her arms are folded and she's tapping her foot, obviously to keep warm. It's just a matter of time until she says "yes." I wonder where you order them and if they deliver by FedEx Express (when it absolutely positively has to be there overnight).
