Rabbits

Rabbits.  Because there were a few different comments about rabbits, I figured I would give you some insight into my methodology.  It was quite simple.  First, I assumed that all off-spring would be female and that there were plenty of males to go around.  I assumed all female because the number could have gotten way to big if I tried to factor in a male's offspring.  Second, I assumed that all litter sizes were at the high end with 12 kits.  Third, I assumed that all kits began breeding at the earliest possible age (6 months).  Fourth, I assumed that the rabbits stopped nursing at the age of 1 month.  This means that each doe can have a litter every 2 months (1 month gestation).  Fifth, I assumed that the rabbits lived in an environment free of predators (such as coyotes) and had an ample supply of food and a lack of disease (basically, they all survived for the entire time between the blog posts).  I invite any of you who wish to figure out how long between the posts using this information (it would be lame to go look at the dates).

Well, in honor of rabbits, here is a shout out to some of the rabbits that have done their species well.

Return to the Alphabet

Productive and Perspective.  40,551,060 seconds ago (as of me drafting this blog), I posted the first in an alphabet catch-up series titled Ketchup.  31 hours and 31 minutes later (cool huh?) I published, 2nd Installment, number two in the series.  0.0589250381 years later, I published Part 3 (I know, such an original name).  I was doing quite well--3 posts in 3.2601 weeks.  Almost once a week.  2.011 lunar cycles passed before I added Just One.  I was slowing down.  But then, I added a whole new letter! After only 1,153,378,221 vibrations of Middle C, I posted Q.  I let P slide because Michelle got impatient and posted a P for me but I didn't forget about it (this post is witness to that).  Between my most recent alphabet post and this one, I think a doe rabbit could have had 72 kits and 864 grandkits. (I've made some assumptions in this calculation.  If you want to know what they are, ask in the comments and I'll provide you with my methodology.)  I'm averaging one post every 135,716.2 minutes, or one alphabet letter every 31.28939 days (that's almost one a month), or from my perspective, 30.95 characters or pictures per day.  I've been pretty productive when you look at it that way.  I've produced 14,527 characters or pictures in the last 469.3409722 days and I didn't even count spaces or your comments.  Let's see the rabbit keep up with that!  My productivity is based completely on perspective.

P.S.  Here is the promised picture of the quilt.
Plus a baby baller
P.P.S.  I made all of the p's in this post bold (except the one in the title, blogger won't let me).

P.P.P.S.  Blogger also may not show the bold text.  I don't think I like blogger very much.
