I think everyone can benefit from [this site](http://www.fsinet.or.jp/%7Esokaisha/rabbit/rabbit.htm), devoted to endless pictures of a pet rabbit with various objects balanced on his head. Rabbit-balancing is an ancient and mysterious Japanese tradition, that just might start to catch on in the West. Let’s hope so!
