Easter Bunny Explained
From our Our Science Correspondent Anitab we have the following exclusive from her family archives:—
The existence of the present day egg laying Easter Bunny is due entirely to Dr Florentine Anitab, who was Professor of Zoology at LaLa University. She successfully crossed a rabbit with a Duck Billed Platypus to produce the egg laying Easter Bunny that brightens children’s Easters to this day. Dr Florentine is pictured here with the first successful egg laying rabbit, you will note its squat shape due to its Platypus genes. She was later able to achieve the traditional rabbit shape without losing the egg laying ability. For this work Dr Florentine was awarded the Nobel prize for Zoology.
Dr Florentine is Ani’s Paternal grandmother and she has allowed us to use these photographs from the family album.
Our Science Correspondent Anitab has kindly let us publish another picture from her family album. This shows her grandmother,Dr Florentine Anitab, in her early days of scientific breeding when she concentrated on breeding minature pigs for small farms and smallholdings.
WORLD NEWS.Is This The End Of Lawnmowers?.
Our Science Correspondent, Floribunda Anitab, granddaughter of famous zoologist Florentina Anitab, has made a breakthrough that will revolutionise gardening in future. Working in the same laboratory that her famous grandmother used Floribunda has trained snails to prefer grass to your juicy little seedlings. They eat the tips of the grass until it is 25mm tall then move on to the next blade. They have been trained to hide during the day and come out at night to trim the lawn. With a squadron of Floribunda’s snails in your garden you get up each morning to a neatly trimmed lawn.
An attempt by the Association of Lawn Mower Makers to sabotage the tests by sprinkling slug pellets was foiled by Floribunda training the snails to avoid eating anything but grass.
The Royston Vasey Cricket ground is now mowed entirely by the Super Snails as they are known. They will be available in a garden centre near you later this month.
Congratulations Ani as Floribunda prefers to be called.
My good friend Anitab keeps sending me links to the olden days, such as this with all these amazing sixties hair styles and fashions. I was going to choose a picture of Gabrielle Drake to illustrate it as I saw her a couple of days ago looking incredibly young as a gangster’s moll in a repeat of The Champions, then I came across this picture of my all time favourite, Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger and it brought back seeing her sing “Wheels on Fire” on Top of the Pops when she looked absolutely fantastic wearing the most enormous hat and the most miniscule frock you have ever seen. Looked for it on You Tube but nobody seems to have caught that surreal moment. I have it though, burnt into my memory. Thanks Ani.
Mr A.C. Pitt- Rivers of the Royston Vasey Corset Museum has written to me to point out that in the post HERE Blenda is wearing a very fine specimen of a Viking Corset very similar to that excavated by him and Dr Bradbury-Winter in their dig at Smörgåsbord. He is, along with fellow Trustees Anitab and Frenchtwist , at present in talks with the West Yorkshire Police on the possibility of offering their Policewomen a modern version instead of the bulky and shapeless protective flack jackets they wear now.
THE ROYSTON VASEY CORSET MUSEUM
The Committee of the Royston Vasey Corset Museum are pleased to announce that, in appreciation of all their contributions to the Museum, they have appointed Frenchtwist and Anitab as Trustees of the Museum, to work alongside Mr A.C.Pitt-Rivers and Doctor Bradbury-Winter. To mark the occasion an exhibition of their finds has been put on display in the Museum of which the following are a small sample.
……….. Some examples of the Corsets on display
