I was in a debate the other day with some friends. Just how did the Easter Bunny get associated with Easter? Crucifixion, resurrection.....chocolate bunnies, colored eggs. WTF?!
I've tried looking on Wikipedia with no luck.

Uh, I think rabbits and eggs are both symbols of fertility, which is associated with spring.

It´s actually pretty logical:
Jesus died --> he came back --> colored eggs --> bunnies --> eating chocolade
Don´t you see the system behind it?

To view my video documentation of my Beach Boys collection go to www.youtube.com/justinplank "Someone needs to tell Adrian Baker that imitation isn't innovation." -The Real Beach Boy ~post of the century~ "Well, you reached out to me too, David, and I'd be more than happy to fill Bgas's shoes. You don't need him anyway - some of us have the same items in our collections as he does and we're also much better writers. Spoiled brat....." -Mikie "in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead

It's a Pagan Spring festival, appropriated strangely by Christians. Kinda similar to Chistmas.

Not all that strangely. Most Christian holidays were placed on pagan holiday dates in order to facilitate their adoption by the "common people." Or so I was taught as a lad.

Well, Easter was scheduled according to Passover..... The church just adjusted an existing holiday to merge the two celebrations. Christmas was the Christianization of the Saturnalia, which is why it is on December 25. The only pagan holiday to survive without too much interaction from the church is the modern Halloween.

Is it just the perspective of the photo, or did Charles Shultz have gigantic hands?

You know what they say: big hands, big peanuts.

Bill Hicks sez on his album "Rant In E Minor":
"They (Australians) celebrate Easter the exact same way we do: commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night. Now, I wonder why we’re f***ed up as a race. Anybody got any idea? You know, I’ve read the Bible. I can’t find the word bunny or chocolate anywhere in the fucking book. Where do they come up with this sh*t? Why not goldfish left Lincoln logs in your sock drawer? As long as you’re making sh*t up - you know - go hog-wild. At least the goldfish with a Lincoln log on its back going across your carpet has some miraculous connotations: 'Mum, today I found a Lincoln log in my sock drawer.' 'That’s the story of Jesus.'"
sh*t's funny!

I thought the Cadbury egg commercial with the clucking rabbit said it well.
