Bunny news! Hungarian motorway blocked by escaping rabbits

"BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary's busiest highway, connecting Budapest with the Austrian capital Vienna, was closed early on Monday after a truck carrying rabbits crashed, letting 5,000 of the animals loose on the road, police said.

The M1 motorway was closed around 40 km (25 miles) west of Budapest and could remain closed for hours while police try to capture the escaped animals, highway police spokeswoman Viktoria Galik said.

"There are thousands of them on the road but they're not using their newfound freedom well; they're just sitting around, eating grass and enjoying the sun," Galik told Reuters."

Oh boy! I wish I could have seen that! Pity that there is no photo for the article.

Giant rabbits

Received an email from an ex-colleague today with a link to news about giant bunnies. I get remembered whenever anyone sees rabbit-related news :)

Funny news

Just read this funny piece of news about a cow falling off the back of a truck on the freeway. I love imagining these funny stories. Of course it is only funny if the cow is not hurt. In this case, the cow was unharmed and "after falling from the truck, it began wandering the freeway". Hehehhe!

Weird news

Just heard on the radio that half of a house has fallen off the back of a trailer and is blocking the freeway...:S

Soccer mania

Just read this funny article in the news about what people can come up with to try and get tickets to watch the World Cup.

This morning we watched the Brazil vs Australia match on TV at 2-4am in the comfort of our bed, covered in quilts right up to my chin. There were 10,000 people out in Federation Square braving the cold (it was 9 degrees, not as bad as the forecasted 6 degrees but still bad anyway) to watch the match on the big screens. Australia lost anyway but they had so many chances to score something.
