Repent! Lest you, too, taste the wrath of… the Were-Rabbit!

Via BBC News: Enormous rabbit terrorizes Northumberland gardens.

Grower Jeff Smith, 63, said: "This is no ordinary rabbit. We are dealing with a monster. It is absolutely massive. I have seen its prints and they are huge, bigger than a deer. It is a brute of a thing."

Mr Smith, who has kept an allotment for 25 years, added: "We have two lads here with guns who are trying to shoot it, but it is clever. They never see it. There were big rabbits in the 1950s and 1960s before pesticides were introduced, but not like this."

Obligatory Monty Python and the Holy Grail dialogue:

Tim: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
Sir Galahad: Get stuffed!
Tim: He'll do you up a treat, mate.
Sir Galahad: Oh, yeah?
Sir Robin: You mangy Scots git!
Tim: I'm warning you!
Sir Robin: What's he do? Nibble your bum?
Tim: He's got huge, sharp… er… He can leap about. Look at the bones!
