"Hares have always been thought magic. In their long-limbed, quivering beauty, they were believed to be walking, breathing love potions.
'To kiss the hare's foot' is to be late for dinner in Brewer's Dictionary: 'the hare has run away, and you are only in time to "kiss" the print of his foot.'
'The cat of the wood,' Heaney calls them: 'the stag of the cabbages'. If there is magic in this world, some part of it lies with them."
I've got no idea if it's old or new, but I love this stained glass window above one of the shop doors on Nithsdale Road in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow.

The al-mi'raj from medieval Arabic literature resembles a yellow hare with a black horn. It's so fierce that most other animals flee from it. The inhabitants of an island in the Indian Ocean gave Alexander the Great an al-mi'raj to repay him for slaying a dragon.
The mating period of European hares starts end of January, beginning of February and ends end of July, beginning of August. The height of the breeding season, is known as "March madness", when the normally nocturnal bucks are forced to be active in the daytime. The boxing usually occurs when a male is being too persistent with a female, chasing her across fields in an attempt to mate.
Right at the beginning of the hare breeding season, in January, is also the best time to see the constellation Lepus.
Decided to try and compare the general base program size of several languages. I wrote a handful of Hello World programs, and stripped them of everything. Here's the final results in KiB:
I also want to write some tools for understanding Hare's memory usage (and debugging memory-related errors, like double free, someone in #hare-dev is working on this also).
