i'll take the hint...

I would say that Easter is one of the best holiday's around. Christmas is alright, but I like Easter better because it's a spring holiday. If only it was actually warm. The other day someone brought about how weird Easter's mascot is. There's a couple things that creep me out about this (1) Rabbit's don't lay eggs (2) Even if it did lay eggs, it couldn't do it for everyone in the world. I don't know who came up with it, but they must have been tripped up on acid to imagine a giant rabbit squatting out eggs in everyone's house on Easter. That's just strange.

There is some sanity to the Easter Bunny legend though. Apparently the hare is a symbol of fertility and renewal of life, which means that rabbits have a lot of sex. So the renewal of life thing sort of fits in with the Christian tradition of Easter. Then America took this symbol and turned it into a rabbit who lays lots of eggs. I guess that makes sense, but I still don't understand how the rabbit lays eggs. Hooray for Americanization. We've managed to warp another perfectly sane holiday by electing a mutated rabbit as its mascot. Another thing, if Easter is all about the resurrection of Jesus, why isn't he laying eggs in the homes around the world. I guess a rabbit breaking into homes was much more attractive than a savior.
