Attack Of The Were-Rabbit?

There are times when life is certainly stranger than fiction. The fiction of course being the recent animated movie starring Wallace & Gromit and their efforts to stop the predations of a monster rabbit, which was attacking the huge vegetables, that had been grown by the people of their town, for an annual vegetable competition. It is a funny film, I watched it at the cinema when it came out and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Life though has a funny way of imitating art at times, as this news article on the BBC News website proves. Seems local people in a northern village have hired two guys with air rifles to stand guard over their vegetables after a monster rabbit with paw prints larger than those of a deer, has been preying on their allotments. Go and have a read, it made me laugh. Every time I think the world cannot possibly become a stranger place, somehow it always manages to do precisely that!
