I think that the 'Run Rabbit Run' piece could have it's own page. There's an interesting history there. The song was written about the first bombs to hit British soil during the Second World War, and the only fatality was that of a rabbit, allegedly inspiring the song. There was a photo of a local man holding up the dead rabbit. Now a lot of people believe that it was all stage-managed, and the rabbit wasn't killed by the bomb, but it was just to add some 'spin' to the story.

Does anyone know any more about this?

That's really good. Never noticed that before. Printed it off and going to read through it just now.
