There seems to be an entire category of large rabbits doing vile things to people. Must research this some time.

Which is why the Holy Handgrenade of Antioch came in so useful!!!

Mollinary

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once at the number three, being the third number be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Apparently snails and knights were a common theme of marginalia.
