From the "Dust bunnies FAQ" :
Q. What are dust bunnies?
A. Go look under the sofa and see for yourself.
More : http://www.dustbunnies.com/dustbin.htm
Dust bunnies can be modelled with blobs and media though no dust bunny has appeared
yet in this group.

Yep.
They're cute. But they didn't do a damn thing for me...
Wait... Dust bunnies... Interesting challenge, actually. Continuation may
follow.

I prefer the dust puppy. I has way more intellect and plays a mean game
of quake. Go for it at http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/archives/ .
And its way of creation may be pretty close to the things that made Ken
evolve :-)

That may well be true but I have always been much better looking that

my own to a large degree.

That may very well be acknowladging the fact that your server must have
been running povray, while dust-puppies server was propably somewhere
doing apache and nsfd.

I admit that I have the strange feeling, both of you are not really from
this world. So perhaps what seems like a struggle with reality for us
humble flesh folks is just some kind of server-side-humor.
