Oh my God. I have got to see if I can find a way to send that to a co-worker without sending the link. (Stupid net access tracking software). It looks like hours of endless work fun. 😃 ---

I have a feeling this is going to cost me, but … … once the rabbit bites the finger – repeatedly pressing the “Poke” button creates what appears to be some sort of twisted Lagomorphic Pornography (which incidentally would make a great band name [sub]couldn’t resist[/sub]). ---

I give up. It doesn’t work for me. I’ve gotten the “Shockwave Download in Progress” box 100 times and restarted my computer as often. I give up. Stupid bunny! ---

Well, finally! I was beginning to think that I’d gotten a dead bunny, or that I was the butt of a practical joke. How many _pokes_ does it take? Is it random? ---

Awww, Silver ☹ I think the shockwave site is down at the moment. When I tried to load the page the first time it asked me to update my shockwave “now” or “later”. I picked “now”, but then was told shockwave was down. I reloaded the page and picked “later” and the bunny loaded fine without the upgrade. I don’t know if that will work for you though. heresiarch: I think it might be random, but won’t do it until certain criteria are met. I didn’t even discover that it did that until I started poking the thing really fast over and over again. I’m not sure if you just casually poked it it would ever turn on you. I think it was because I was hitting the button so fast that it got annoyed and bit me. ---

Poking slowly, you can get in hundreds of pokes without reaping the rightful bounty of your digital aggression. Poke quickly and soon it’s all over (guys, does this ring a bell?). PS: Bwwwaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahah!!! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poke-poke-poke/87172.md?page=2)
