I can see from your years of profile pics that rabbits are important to you. Cute animals, never known anyone who had them as a domestic pet though. My condolences on your loss of Rocky.

On this date in 2007, the face of King Tut was unveiled in public for the first time, 85 years after the 3,200-year-old boy pharaoh's tomb and mummy were discovered. Observers agreed that he didn't look a day over 2,500.

On this day in 1979...

Saw the UK release of the controversial comedy film Monty Python's "Life of Brian". The film tells the story of Brian Cohen, a young Jewish man who is born on the same day as, and next door to, Jesus Christ and is subsequently mistaken for the Messiah.

EMI withdrew funding days before production was scheduled to begin and financing was arranged by former Beatle George Harrison who was a long time Monty Python fan.

Thirty-nine local authorities in the UK imposed an outright ban and some countries banned its showing for decades.

You might have also mentioned that it is side-splittingly hilarious.
Some folks just don't enjoy good satirical humor.
I wonder if it hurts?
