but where? Every two weeks we round up our top
10 websites. Some of the chosen sites have been
in the news, some are just trusty favourites and
all are worth a visit. Usually, but not always,
#10 is a quite sensible website, progressing to
a very silly #1 site.

Very rare photos – of guess what? Bunny
yawns
www.talkingegg.com/humor/bunnyyawns.html
“One
day I was flipping through a friend's rabbit book,
and in it was a picture of a bunny yawning. I
had never seen anything so adorably funny. I can't
quite explain it, what exactly makes me smile,
but I began searching for pictures of bunnies
yawning.
"You
see, the yawn takes about two seconds, and then
it is over. Therefore, bunny yawn pictures are
extremely rare. Thanks to people around the world,
I've collected a nice bunch. If anyone has any
other rabbit yawn pictures other than the ones
I have linked to below, PLEASE email it to me,
I would greatly appreciate it.”
See
the film – a brief clip of a rabbit yawning
– wonderful!
