Did you know that in 1726, a woman in Godalming, Surrey, gave birth to rabbits?

Iâve heard a lot of stories like this one â dealing with skeptical topics in the past, usually by educated people being fooled by various sillinesses â but this one was new to me.

Oh: If Isziâs voice sounds familiar, then perhaps you are a Skeptics Guide to the Universe fan. Listen to the intro. As for why she drew that doctor as me, I asked her, and she said it was because my face âwas fun to drawâ. I might disagree, but felt that arguing over it would be splitting hares.
