In terms of weird coloring.. Do you mean the stylesheet?

Gah! Yes -- the Utah teapot would have been a great idea. D'oh. Actually 
after I submitted the image I thought of that. As for the bunny... Hmm, 
Half-melted dripping off the edge of the pedistal? :) I remember some 
fluid sims involving said bunny as a (melting) chocolate bunny.

Heh, I like the idea of a "Cornell Room" Possibly a nice plush chair?

One of these days, I'll implement. I was close enough to my concept, 
this time that I'm happy with the image.
