Rabbit

Follow the white rabbit ... cause things are amiss in wonderland. =(^.^)=

I assume the authors of the "rabbit" joke have got their inspiration from one/some of the following sources:

• The movie
• "Follow the White Rabbit Neo."
• The book
• The song
• Playboy rabbits (given the bunch of pervs that code this, it's a huge possibility)

First time the "rabbit" has emerged was 6th January 2004, in the CVS commit by run (libcw) (Internet Archive)

line 326 libcw 1.14 #warning Creteil? I know you are here Creteil... follow the white rabbit.

Then MadCat added a nice ASCII art:

           ,-.,-.
            \ \\ \
             \ \\_\
             /     \
          __|    a a|
        /`   `'. = y)=
      /        `"`}
    _|    \       }
    { \     ),   //
     '-',  /__\ ( (
   jgs (______)\_)_)

after that....

everything went down the rabbit's hole......... =:)
