Got a Unicorn friend on another forum, let me ask him...
regarding the easter bunny, it's really pretty simple: mutant bunny from mars ressurected him with their life rays and opened the tumb with grenades.
Incidentally, their grenades are egg shaped. thus, to celebrate their help in the saving of the world and god's creation, we honor them every year with chocolate eggs.
Well, at least it's more believable than Jesus as a vampire hunter.sigpic

I think Poe did a good job in explaining the rabbit....
As for the Unicorn...I'm pretty sure I can find a connection, involving purity, and magic, but really, it just makes my hair hurt.

The unicorn, like many things, was a pagan thingo that was adopted to christianity during the "Late Antiquity"
The pagan myth that the unicorn could only be tamed by a virgin maiden of virtue was converted symbolically to stand for Jesus' relationship with the Virgin Mary.

According to my unicorn friend, the first recorded evidence of the unicorn's existance was in 389 BC, by the greek historian Ctesias, based on the stories of travellers from India.
So unless the dudes linking unicorns and Jessu smoked the same herbs than these travelers, I don't see the connection.
Then again, Jesus being the son of god he could perfectly have traveled in time to meet unicorns. or something.sigpic

Bascially another case of the choir-rapist in the purple dress hijacking someone else's cool ideas?When I was fifteen, my father thought I knew nothing. When I was twenty-five, I was amazed by how little he thought I'd learned in such a long time.

I think of that the other way round. Apart from the "foreign" restaurants, most of our linguistic idiosyncracies are from invasions with varying degrees of success up to and including 1066. They're more like the diseases picked up from being dragged into too many alleys. :-PWhen I was fifteen, my father thought I knew nothing. When I was twenty-five, I was amazed by how little he thought I'd learned in such a long time.
