Rabbit Mythology?

Is this a myth, or true?

If you eat nothing but rabbit, no matter how much you eat you will starve to death because rabbit meat has insufficient nutrition to sustain human life.

If you want a really useless piece of information, there's a species of termite that defends the nest by blowing itself up.

Cool ...! (I'm such a geek)

I thought that was celery? You expend more calories eating it than you get from the actual food itself.

Well, rabbits eat celery, ergo, there can't be much nutrition in a rabbit.

Isn't logic a wonderful thing?

I think, therefore I am.

That's all I know.

Yeah ... but can they blow up to defend their warren?

You know Warren Piece?

I'm working on a genetics engineering product to create just such a thing.

Might not be such a good idea. My last project became President of the United States.

Partially true. Average humans can't survive on a diet of just meat and fat. It is not a matter of calories, but of missing vitamins and minerals. Pre-Columbian Inuit could and did survive on a diet of meat [animal or fish] and fat. However, if you are not a pre-Columbian Inuit, the same diet will kill you in the long run.

Just to drive it into the ground, the Tarahumara Amerinds of Mexico, at least through the 20th centrury, are famed as long distance runners. Young men often run a hundred miles or more while kicking a small woden ball. The Tarahumara diet consists almost entirely of pinole [corn meal mush.] The same diet will kill you in the not very long run.

Well, I was just going to say that if it's for useless info in general it was made for me, cuz I'm full of it. Useless information, that is.

For instance, Mel Blank was alergic to carrots but he insisted that nothing but a carrot sounded right when he was chewing for Bugs so the kept a large trash can right next to him so he could spit the carrot out after each take.

Another piece of useless info: His last name was spelled "Blanc".

I've heard this. I know for a fact that the celery thing is bullshit, but I understand that it's because rabbit meat has so few nutrients in it. It's not a calorific issue, but that there is little protein or carbohydrate.

Did you know that Eskimos regularly eat whale liver? The same dish would be poisonous to any other race as you would be poisoned with an overdose of Vitamin D.

A certain herb is a more effective mosquito deterrant than most commercial bug sprays, is not harmful to the environment, and will not kill the little critters.
