This is a reference to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_of_Caerbannog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_of_Caerbannog) in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in case you're unfamiliar with this very well-known meme. It's a hilarious scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmu5sRIizdw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmu5sRIizdw).
Wikipedia entry states "The idea for the rabbit in the movie was taken from the façade of the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. This illustrates the weakness of cowardice by showing a knight fleeing from a rabbit."
I watched the movie with my son (11) a few weeks ago, and was wondering if he'd enjoy the sometimes dry humor: he loved it, esp. the questioning at the Bridge of Death.

- BLKNSLVR 7y agoMy son is also 11 and a Monty Python virgin. Thanks for reminding me of this necessary cultural education and that it will be at least semi age-appropriate. Damn I'm looking forward to both watching it again myself and watching him watching it. And, depending upon his reaction it, on to Life of Brian in order to cement critical thinking skills against any future attempts to recruit him into lifelong religious servitude (and of course learning the details of latin grammar).
