The world’s longest rabbit…let me pause here for a second. Is there a rabbit-measuring group which deploys annually, each with a tape measure to make such determination?<\/p>\n
I don’t know. Somebody should look into that.<\/p>\n
What we do know is Darius, a Brit and the world’s longest rabbit, is missing.<\/a> Much has been made of the obvious: how does any animal as big as a child’s tree house disappear?<\/p>\n The police think he’s been bunny-napped. His owner, Annette Edwards, is really upset:<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just so upsetting because he is such a lovable character,\u201d she told the British newspaper The Telegraph<\/a>, adding that Darius, who is largely retired from public appearances, was on a special diet for his age and would die without it.<\/em><\/p>\n Doesn’t this sound like an old Law and Order<\/em> episode?

I’m still wondering whether Darius got named because Darius’s owner promoted him. That is, did Guinness send measurement emissaries around the world to interview all the large rabbits?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The world’s longest rabbit…let me pause here for a second.
