I went birding again this morning. There's a nice, peaceful nature trail on base that's usually deserted if you're there before 7:30. The trail runs near the shoreline, and there's enough beach access to make it easy to watch the various shorebirds.
Anyway, I've been slowly wandering around on the trail and on the beach for a while when my morning coffee finally starts to catch up to me. I casually stroll over to a secluded clump of dense bushes, and start to take care of things.
No sooner have I begun than there's this massive rustling noise, as an extremely irritated - and wet - rabbit erupts from the foliage. Scared the living daylights out of me.

Sorry, fellow atheists, but if you thought you could just get away with sitting quietly and not making a noise, you're doomed. The situation is worse than simply some silly believers flying into a snit because horribly militant, aggressive, obnoxious atheists put up signs that say something…
One of the weirder experiences I had at the Nordita Workshop for Science Writers a couple of weeks ago was having people ask me "How are you so productive?" (or the equivalent). That caught me off guard, because I don't feel like I'm especially productive-- in fact, I tend to feel like I'm falling…
Scared you? How do you think he felt about the situation? ;)
"But...it's just a little bunny rabbit..."
We all know how that one ends ;)
You should have let it scare the p*ss out of you. That would have taken care of it, methinks.
Enjoy England, and remember to, um, y'know, on the other side of the bushes over there.
