.... we're hunting WABBITS!

Last night we played a game of Trivial Pursuit - those two words that meant so much back in 1983 have been revamped with a shiny new board. Whoever came up with the idea to change the names of the categories should be shot though, because whatever "GT" is (Gran Turismo, maybe?) it's still full of sport questions... but I digress.

One of the questions we had was what is the common name of Sylvilagus palustris hefneri - well it seems Hugh Hefner has had a species of Rabbit named after him. Isn't that interesting. I wonder if the writers of the new Tribble Forsooth used Wikipedia as their main information resource. That, and the Big Print Guide to the Sydney Olympics ....

And of course the inevitable controversy arose - should they be called "Pie" or "Cheese" or just the boring "Wedge"? When I played it was always Cheese. But D™ thinks it should be Pie. And the rules say Wedge. So who knows, but at least it's consistently about food.

In unrelated news, yesterday a young man was taken to Goulburn Hospital suffering a gunshot wound to the thigh. Apparently his dad mistook him for a rabbit, or something.

Son: "Dad, what are we hunting again? Rabbits, or ducks?"
Dad: "DUCK, SON"
