View Full Version : Rabbit Defies The Laws Of Physics

Its True !!!
Check out this rabbit:
:bunnyjump:
When he jumps, he stretches out to a full body length.
(Whether he hops to the right or left)
Yet (in total defiance of the Laws of Physics)
the rabbit takes 2 hops in one direction to cover the same
distance that took just one hop in the opposite direction.
Funny, I said to myself... funny. :blink:
Lissa must be feeding these rabbits Frankencarrots !!! :wacko:

my thoughts exactly.
You ponder this yet you don't respond to my 'POY' questions. And people think I'm odd. :huh:

duuuuuuuude...... I've never noticed that before...
*marvels*
:bunnyjump: :bunnyjump:
Wow. That is interesting. Maybe it's an optical illusion. Like this one. Is it a duck or is it a bunny?

No Mike...
Its not an optical illusion at all.
On closer analysis I observed that the rabbit loses ground
when turning to face the left... roughly a tail-length.
Yet, when he turns to face the right, he gains ground...
approximately a 'quarter to a third' of a body length.
Therefore I deduct that the rabbits muscles are stronger
on his left side than on his right.
The only other explaination is this:
Although at full body stretch when hopping to the left,
the rabbit is probably mentally less determined to reach
his destination... so therefore, less energy is exerted
with each hop.
As his muscle structure is covered by thick fur it is quite
impossible to confirm this theory.
However, if Dave or Kiera would contact the original animator,
they could ask him/her to construct a wire-frame 3D structure
of the rabbit using 'Lightwave'... then I could more accurately
solve this dilemma.

well...justin doesn't need to get out more - as much as i hate physics - he's right - i didn't really notice by the laws of physics - but i found it odd how it only took him less trips going certain direction than the other - i stared @ that bunny for awhile like - that's just wrong - i must be psychic :)

Thanks Michael...
I'm glad that you've noticed the 'Physics Defying Rabbit' too.
Kiera and Dave's observational skills are somewhat lacking...
otherwise they'd have noticed it too.
They should really stay in more. :)

We should stay in more so that we can watch the bunny hopping left & right?
LMAO :rolleyes:
Im not going to read this thread anymore Justin, its got way out of control (bit like your bunny)
For now, and for your entertainment, i will leave you with a small thought.....
A rabbit walked into a butcher's and said, "Got any cabbage?"
The butcher said, "No."
The next day the rabbit walked into the butcher's and said, "Got any cabbage?"
The butcher said, "No!"
The next day the rabbit walked into the butcher's and said, "Got any cabbage?"
The butcher said, "NO! And if you ask me that one more time I'll nail you to the wall by your ears!"
The next day the rabbit walked into the butcher's and said, "Got any nails?"
The butcher said, "No."
The rabbit said, "Got any cabbage?" :bananarock:

Umm...Eibhlin... Interesting proposition...
The body structure of the rabbit would be constant no matter which direction he
travels. As rabbits are not particlarly aerodynamically evolved, then perhaps
wind resistance might feature in this equation. But, as we know, this forum is
a wind-free-zone... therefore, there's not a measurable amount of air-flow here.
Anyway... I've Solved the Problem !!!
As the rabbit always turns clockwise, there is no physical reason why he
should lose (or gain) ground while making a turn. Unless he suffers an illness.
Its all a Matter of Balance.
As rabbits have particularly large ears they are more susceptible to infection.
Which leads to the obvious conclusion... BALANCE !!!
The rabbit is unable to maintain his balance as he has a...
Middle Ear Infection !!!
How intrepid is that ??? B)

hmm, perhaps it is from all the hot air... :dunno:
Intrepid Prez
06-02-2005, 04:22 AM
Yes Eibhlin... again you introduce an interesting proposal.
I did consider your hot air theory...
especially with Mike (Mr CC) forever shooting off his mouth.
But, as hot air rises, it would not affect the horizontal
movement of the rabbit... and... even if it did, there is
no logical reason why it should be directional.
So... if Lissa would perform her duty and immediately
take the rabbit to a vet... I'm pretty sure it would prove
my 'middle ear infection' theory to be quite sound.
Easy...
...
I really think that this involves a third dimension. This is a two dimensional representation of a rabbit moving in three dimensions. In one direction he is traveling away from you then toward you. The motion of the rabbit involves a triangular path when viewed from above. The rabbit never appears to become smaller/larger as you would expect of something moving away from you/towards you, because the web graphic student who made this rabbit is incompetent. He likely got passed by his web graphics instructor, because he sweet talked the instructor and she fell for it.
Either that or I think Justin's bladder infection theory sounds good. He's pretty good at diagnosing animals, because he can talk to the animal like Dr. Doolittle. :P
Intrepid Prez
06-02-2005, 06:56 AM
...
Even allowing for the third dimension (and the lack of distance perspective),
the rabbit still covers the same distance in half the hops as in the
opposite direction.
Study carefully the rabbit's turn from left to right. The animator has drawn
a rear view of the rabbit. You can clearly observe his bob-tail. Yet, on the
opposite turn the animator deliberately omitted the bob-tail frame.
Undoubtably, the animator was demonstrating that the rabbit's balance was unpredictable...
therefore, the only logical conclusion to be deducted is: a medical condition.
Again, confirming my 'middle ear infection' theory.
This proves that the multimedia student was in fact, highly competent. And...
his teacher (obviously acknowledging this indisputable fact) must have awarded
a distinction pass for such a realistic example of contempory animation.
Stick to debunking fire insurance claims, Mike. :P ;)

:dir:
i believe that the director smiley poses an interesting perspective, note that the bull horn is facing right, which in turn would blow all the hot air to the right, therefore making the leftward progress more laborious, therefore causing said rabbit to exert more energy, and possibly more hops while going in this direction.
^_^
Intrepid Prez
06-03-2005, 04:22 AM
Umm...
Another challenging proposition, Eibhlin, thank you.
And I'm sure you've noticed too, that Kiera is way out of her league here.
She attemps to disguise her ignorance behind trivial comments.
Now... the hot air pressure expelled from the directors loud hailer might
indeed cause the rabbit to exert more energy. And, to your credit, you have
made an accurate observation by noticing the 'bull horn' is pointing in the
direction in which the rabbit labours.
My deduction is so:
The rabbit labours towards the left whether the director is blowing hot air or not.
Now, having spent the last 2 1/2 hours going back through the post, I have not
observed one posting where the rabbit is labouring against the hot air from the
hailer. No member to date has included a message with both animations.
Here... I've conducted these tests:
:bunnyjump:
:dir: :bunnyjump:
Place a ruler on your monitor and you'll see that the airflow from the hailer
makes no measureable difference to the rabbit's progress (or lack of). Although
more scienticic instrumentation might reveal a minor discrepancy.
So (and it's only conjecture) I would assume that the rabbit's progress toward
the left might only be further impeded by the hailer... therefore, it would
be recognised as a 'contributing factor' rather than the 'absolute cause'.
Not until Lissa take this poor suffering animal to the vet can my 'middle ear infection'
theory be conclusively proven.

Justin that was one of the funniest forum posts ive ever read lmao :)
Eibhlin
06-03-2005, 02:26 PM
:omg: as i observe your illustration:
:dir: :bunnyjump:
it moves me to the question, if there is no actual hot air interference impeding our bunny's progress, perhaps it is fear of the blasting bull horn that causes said bunny to (out of apprehension) try valiantly to delay the inevitable progress towards its source of fear!
or maybe it just doesn't want to subject it's sensitive hearing to the magnificent volume of the bull horn!
it causes one to ponder ;)
maybe this is the bunnies silent cry "let our bunnies go!"
EDIT:
has anyone else observed the fact that while the bunny blinks only once going to the right, it in FACT blinks TWICE going left, which adds leverage to my fear and apprehension theory! see how the bunny winces in pain and fear for his sensitive ears as he approaches the bull horn! but as a helpless animation, he must nevertheless follow the course plotted for him by HIS ANIMATOR!
better not let peta know about this!!

you guys are thinking way too much on this topic...... multipole speculations yet none of them have anything to do with why that bunny does that ....it's just an animation.....
sometimes i wonder what you people are on when you type such nonsense...lol :unsure:
Eibhlin
06-04-2005, 10:26 PM
ah well, sometimes it is just nice to be nonsensical for a change...or maybe it was the mushrooms on my pizza? (joooking) :P
besides i cannot believe you do not see the importance in studying why the bunny hops as he does, *sighs* maybe it is too much for you to wrap your mind around :lol:

You're observational skills are to be commended, Eibhlin...
but I fear your interpretation might be inaccurate.
The rabbit's blinking is actually consistant... he blinks once for each hop.
And... if you carefully study my next demonstration, you'll see that your
'Apprehension Theory' also comes under question.
:) :bunnyjump:
As all forum members know, the 'smiley' face is the friendliest animation in the forum.
Consequently, the rabbit has absolutely no reason to fear it.
Yet (using a stop-watch) the rabbit still takes the same amount of time to reach
the friendly 'smilie' face as he does to reach the blasting horn.
:dir: :bunnyjump:
So Eibhlin, a 'Fear Factor' doesn't come into play here.
However, you are perfectly correct in suggesting that the:
'People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' would not be impressed with Lissa
for allowing a rabbit to run around the forum with an untreated middle ear infection.
Aftrer all, Eibhlin...
if Jewel were to be discovered aimlessly running around in erratic circles,
the 'Australian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Jewel' would
immediately spring into action.
...
I put this bunny under a microscope, slowed him down, and made am amazing discovery:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v670/jewelkilcher/HelpmeBunny.gif
It's a tiny cry for help. I believe Justin has infected this bunny with an ear infection for reasons only he could know. Justin you evil animal experiments must come to an end. First you cut off Shakira's hair and claim it was someone else. Now you force this poor bunny to endlessly jump back and forth while enduring the pain of an ear infection. What's next? Will you make us read some page about Jack Daniels or Kelly Rowland!?!? It's barbaric.
Eibhlin
06-05-2005, 11:33 PM
oh my, indeed you are correct, i was too focused on my blinking/apprehension theory to notice that the bunny does blink for each hop! which could lead to YET ANOTHER POSSIBILITY! the bunny has an injured paw! so perhaps your ear infection bit is wrong, unless in your need to be correct you have indeed experimented on this helpless animation and in turn caused an ear infection!!
:o :o :omg:
would you go to such lengths to be right? :(

Ahah! Look at Justin's clear bias towards real animals. He obviously is torturing this virtual bunny in an effort to promote real animals. Shame on you Justin. End the inequality. End cruelty to virtual bunnies today! ;)
And speaking of Kelly Rowland, why is there no Australian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Kelly Rowland? Do I sense Jewel bias as well as real animal bias? When Princess Tracy posts something about Kelly Rowland, who is there to turn to in the entire southern hemispere? When reviewers call Kelly, "Beyonce's ugly step sister" who is there to combat this? Sure there is the Kelly Rowland Rules website at http://geocities.com/kellyrowlandrules, but does this site prevent cruelty? I think not. ;)

oh my gosh! is it some wierd form of protest! do virtual bunnies not have feelings? if you cut them, do they not ooze virtual blood? if you infect their ears do they not cry out in (apparently) microscopic voices!
is it his fault he is not a REAL bunny? i think not! :P
dude, thats just wrong! :blink:
