Next month there's a date that could be rather interesting for clock watchers or students of sequential history.

For at 12.34 and 56 seconds on August 7, the time and date will be 12:34:56 7/08/09.
Don't blink and miss it, because this ‘1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9' phenomenon happens only once a century.

For Maria......

The world record for the rabbit high jump is 1 meter.
The world record for the record long jump is 3 meters. That's over 9 feet!
The largest litter of baby rabbits is 24. It has happened twice. Once in 1978 and again in 1999.
The longest ears are 31.125 inches long. They belong to an American rabbit, Nipper's Geronimo.
The longest-lived rabbit was nearly 19 years old when he died.
Biggest bunny: 26 lbs., 7 oz.!
A rabbit has 18 toenails: 4 on each of the back feet, and 5 on each of the front.
Rabbits have a tiny "peg" tooth behind each incisor.
The smallest wild rabbit breed in North American is the Pygmy or Little Idaho rabbit, which weighs slightly less than one pound.
