Bunny Invasion!
The bunnies are coming, the bunnies are coming! Never mind, they're already here. At least that's the case in St. Albans, Vermont. The town has a serious infestation of white bunnies. They are everywhere. All over the roads throughout the area. You don't have to worry about hitting one, though.
Because they are spray painted all over the roads.
ST.ALBANS — “What is up with the bunnies?” That was the start of L.B. Clark’s letter to the editor appearing in the August 26 edition of the St. Albans Messenger and it is a resounding question.
Ask anyone around Franklin County about the mysterious spray-painted white rabbits stenciled onto roads at random locations and no one seems to know.
Rumor of the rabbits has been spreading, causing a lot of buzz and resulting in no answers as to their purpose or origin.
Is it a game? Random graffiti? Some sort of message? A high school prank? Who knows?
“They’re all over the place,” says Mike Juaire, a senior dispatcher for the St. Albans City Police. “I’ve heard that they’re in Essex, South Burlington, and they’re in my development in Swanton, but I’ve asked around and no one seems to know what they are.”
In Franklin County the bunnies have been spotted on city streets and rural roads with no pattern emerging. Some are near homes or driveways, while others are near hayfields. All the bunnies are the exact same shape and most likely painted from a stencil.
How long these bunnies have been around is also unknown. A few are faded and covered with skid marks while others look as fresh as if they were painted yesterday.
The helpful folks at the St. Albans Messenger even came out with an interactive map so you can locate all the known bunnies in the area. (Which proves there isn't much to do up in St. Albans at this time of year, we suspect.) However, we just want to point out the sinister implications of this series of bunny paintings. We believe it is a warning to the residents of the animal uprising! The real bunnies are the ones spray painting the fake bunnies on the ground. They are direction markers for the imminent real invasion by the real killer bunnies (Jimmy Carter variety)! How do we know this? Simple, we drew these conclusions with the exact same methodology and scientific rigor that the 9/11 conspiracy theorists use! Damn we're good!

Gaius, I’m afraid you’re wrong on this one. I threw you a link and explained it.
