Storming the winter palace, with added Mech

This year’s VCE year 12 history exam was supposed to include the artwork Storming the Winter palace on 25th October 1917 by Nikolai Kochergin but instead used a modified image with a BattleTech Marauder in the background helping to storm the palace.

History is always more fun with added Mech

Run rabbit – run rabbit – Run! Run! Run!

There were bizarre scenes in Parliament as Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and Christopher Pyne scrambled for the exits in a frantic attempt to avoid a vote. (2012-May-30)

Run Rabbit Run
Words & Music by: Noel Gay and Ralph Butler.

Run Rabbit Run was a popular song during World War II, especially after Flanagan and Allen changed the lyrics to poke fun at the Germans (eg. Run Adolf, Run Adolf, Run, Run, Run……..)

On the farm, every Friday
On the farm, it’s rabbit pie day.
So, every Friday that ever comes along,
I get up early and sing this little song

Run rabbit – run rabbit -
Run! Run! Run!
Run rabbit – run rabbit -
Run! Run! Run!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Goes the farmer’s gun.
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run.
Run rabbit – run rabbit -
Run! Run! Run!
Don’t give the farmer his fun!
Fun! Fun!
He’ll get by without his rabbit pie
So run rabbit – run rabbit -
Run! Run! Run!

The punch line — that university website designers have no idea what their visitors actually want front and center — has hit close enough to home to create a lot of buzz elsewhere on the Web. According to the link-tracking site Bit.ly, the cartoon had been shared nearly 8,000 times, been “liked” nearly 7,500 times, and garnered more than 5,500 comments on Facebook as of Tuesday evening.
