T-minus 16 days until Easter. That means only 16 days until I can drink Dr. Pepper again. Also, this is the time of year I hopelessly gorge myself on Reese's Eggs. (They say if you give up one vice, you replace it with another...) Why is the peanut butter in them so much better than the regular cups? This is a mystery I have yet to solve.
Along with:
1.) Why did a bunny became the nameface of Easter?
2.) Why would a rabbit horde eggs? Last I checked, rabbits were not reptiles OR fish, so there's no parental instinct. What are those little buggers hiding??
Well, how bout this for an answer to both questions, albeit from a possibly unreliable Wikipedia article:
"Eggs, like rabbits and hares, are fertility symbols of extreme antiquity. Since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth to large litters in the early spring, these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox." Interesting.
On a related note, somebody had way too much time on their hands:

Good question - what are the rabbits hiding? I think it might be the answer to the chicken and egg problem. The rabbits came first and created the eggs which hatched chickens!
