does anyone know where the "bunnies" and "colored eggs" come from ??

The hare is a pagan spring fertility symbol that was eventually associated with the religious holiday. Don't know about the eggs.

Male rabbits and hares are reputed to have an incessant sex drive. That brings some bumping of the male rodents' testicles with it which eventually turn blue.

That at least explains one color.

Sounds like a load of balls to me...  :o

Hope everyone had a good one and the sun shined as much as it did on us  ;D  ;D  ;D  been ways out West (Devon, England, that is) and off line, so still trying to catch up, again, and trying to wrangle my new Norton's into shape (don't tell me, shoulda gone to specsavers...)  :sad:
