Being from germany I can tell you that this is a FUN TOY and absolutely fictional. Its is made as a tourist present, most commonly in south germany, swiss and austria, and has nothing to do with sick rabbits whatsoever. --Ollj 18:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

So if it's just a toy, where'd the picture come from... Duh-Doo-duh-DUNNNN...

[edit] Unnecessary Line

"Jagex enjoys playing with words. Here, this staff member has used the line, "hear it coming in the air tonight" which is from Phil Collins' song, In the Air Tonight."

The original quote itself has questionable relevance to the article (and is also unsourced). This particular line, however, seems entirely unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.241.17.32 (talk) 16:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dürer Painting

The rabbit picture is by the famous German painter Albrecht Dürer, but of course it's manipulated. Should this information perhaps be added to the description of the image? --Flowi 15:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that, too, and decided to include the original painting. It's public domain now but still courteous to show the original work.

What does this RuneScape crap have to do with this page, so if any other MMORPG adds a 'animal' or whatever, ie. A tiger. I go and spam the page with "OMG X MMORPG HAS ADDED A TIGER!!!11! on 1st of"

--Phil2611 16:31, 3 November 2007 (UTC) Well, you see it has to do with more than just an animal, that's why it's there with the game.

[edit] Zamonia

The Zamonia bit isn't entirely accurate: The creatures in that book (part deer, part dog) were called "Wolpertings," not "Wolpertingers." It's clearly derivative, but not quite the same. —Qit el-Remel (talk • contribs) 02:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
