News from Europe: A group of artists has constructed a large pink bunny on an Italian hillside. It's a (an) historic event.

I hope people miss this thread, if only so it gets posted again later on. like, once every coupla months for as long as it remains on that mountainside would be ideal.

my favorite quote on this topic is from loquacious:
I wish to snuggle in the sloppy entrails of this great woolen beast.
(I've said it before and I'll say it again!)

another common sentiment that I relate to is, 'what will this thing be like in 20 years? it's wool, ferchrissakes!' after all, the cheap thing already split a seam.

Also, I'm going to go with "an historic event" - rolls off the tongue better, and sounds more, um, elegant.

Pie, I don't think we have any sort of exclusivity agreement. Go for it!

Comments on the world as will: See here. We probably need to update that list - the last one showing was nearly a year ago!

So is anyone living in it yet?

Soon it will be homes to countless real bunnies, mice, shrews, voles and other small wildlife.
