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

...

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 ;)

I wish we had a smilie that showed me patting you on the back with a view to thinking, There There...it's alright. You may be sad but you're keeping that hamster in head churning away!

Now look sad and say Doh!

: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.

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.

: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:

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:



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.

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? :(

It ain't friggin so... DEFAMATION !!!

I'm an 'active' member of:

Australian Association for Humane Research (anti-vivisection)
Animal Liberation (political)
Animal Welfare League (animal care)
WIRES (native animal rescue & fostering)

and... I'm a financial member of some international animal welfare/rescue organizations.
So are ALL my family.

In fact, I don't support (finacially or otherwise) any human charities (except the ASPCJ of course)...
although I obviously empathise with them.

Hence...
that's why I'm the only one demanding that Lissa takes our cyber-bunny straight to the cyber-vet vet.

So APOLOGISE Mike...
(you already know about my involvement in animal rescue/rights/welfare) :angry:

Do you mean like this one:
http://www.geocities.com/jewel_austr...ckDaniels.html

or my very own Kelly Rowland site:
http://geocities.com/kellyrowlandrules


And ... check through Mike's microscope, Eibhlin... there's nothing wrong with
the rabbit's paws.

Umm Eibhlin... why do you seem hellbent on proving my 'middle ear infection'
theory to be incorrect ??? :unsure:
