Rabbit Math

I’ve heard that rabbits are adept at multiplying. Can they also add and subtract?

———- from Marie Fehribach of Sterling Hts., MI

Rabbits are truly the “idiot savants” of the animal kingdom, eclipsed only by worms and starlings in their mathematical ability. In fact, the new supercomputers employ ranks of worms doing the simple digital calculations, and the starlings roost above them, controlling our information flow with their droppings. Rabbits were completely unsuccessful in this technological innovation because they ate too much, bred too quickly and tended to run away in search of adventure.
