You just pulled that out of your arse, but people are upvoting you anyway. It's odd.

Season one, episode 9 I think?
Edit: Episode 7, it was brought up as a possible diagnosis for a lady with sleeping sickness. Just watched through it so it stuck with me, I’d never heard of a rabbit disease

Any Olympic athlete wants to share their experience? For science.

I found this on whattoexpect.com:

Reply to TIL that when former White House press secretary James Brady died in 2014, his death was ruled a homicide because it was ultimately caused by a gunshot wound he sustained in 1981, during the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by IAmTiborius
Listing the cause of death for a death certificate and criminal culpability for causing the death are two entirely distinct things.

Reply to comment by rebillihp in TIL Margaret Knight (1838-1914) invented a machine to mass produce flat-bottomed paper bags and, after winning a lawsuit against a fraudster who copied her design, the patent was issued in 1871. Her first invention was when she was 12 years old (and began working in a factory). She had 87 patents. by WonderWmn212
Yes, like the ones they put birthday cards into when you buy them at the store. I've night things that came in bigger ones every once in awhile - back when we used to go to stores

Used to, but it hasn’t been an open marriage since the 1970s.

I find this baffling because it’s not like cadmium is cheap or easy to obtain. Paints/coating that use cadmium are highly specialized and pretty much exclusively used for military applications.

Sounds like a thinly veiled conspiracy theory funded by big environment aimed at further demonizing symbols of healthy capitalism, i.e manicured lawns, in an effort make Americans more pliable to the viles of Communism through ramped up environmental fear. The end result being that Americans are scared of bunnies killing them. Therefore, we will kill our lawnmowers, plant dandelions instead, eat avacado toast, part our hair on the side, put "live, laugh, love" signs all over our homes, and take millennial pauses.
F*ck bunnies. They've had it too good for too long.
Yeah, but I'm the crazy one. Sure.
