It's like a rabbit Haiti

Hundreds of rabbits hit as roof caves in
This winter has been much worse than usual for Sweden.  This past weekend we had a snowstorm that pretty much gridlocked Stockholm...the infrastructure minister described it (and Sweden's response to it) as a "catastrophe."  Being a Minnesotan, I've been relatively unfazed by the weather and enjoy scoffing at people's horrified response to the cold.
Sadly, though, sometimes people get hurt by the unexpected amount of snowfall.  Like the hundreds of little furry people who were attending the Nyköping rabbit show in Stockholm when the roof collapsed.  But I'm sure Alicia Keys and Jay-Z will sing in a benefit concert for this tragedy as well.
It's also possible, given the Swedish government's tendencies toward rabbits, that this is a massive government conspiracy to secure an additional source for their rabbit-fueled heating plant (mentioned in an earlier post).  Consider these facts: 
  1) This winter is colder than usual.
  2) Stockholm uses frozen rabbits as biofuel to generate heat.
  3) Collapse happens late at night, when all the humans are away from the building at a "dance event" in another building.
  4) Police still have not fully established the cause of the collapse.
  5) Lars Ahlgren, rescue coordinator/alleged conspirator, stated, "We're not going to attempt to rescue the rabbits under the collapse".
  6) This is the largest single gathering of rabbits in Sweden, with well over 1500 in attendance.
Coincidence?  Conspiracy theorists, get on it!

In other bunny news, King Gustav finished his litter training quicker than I had hoped and so has had free run of my room for about a week and a half now.  He likes to jump on my bed and climb on me while I'm trying to fall asleep.  Unfortunately, he decided that the window sill is a more appropriate throne location and figured out how to jump up there from my bed.  I pushed him down a couple times, but last night he staged a covert mission to secure the upper ground.  Last week I got a basil plant so I could give him an occasional delicious treat.  During his midnight mission, he discovered the basil plant on the window sill.  Now I have an empty pot and a rabbit who could star in a Pepto-Bismal commercial.
