How heavy were the rabbits? Say 5 kg? LD50(50% chance of death) of hydrogen cyanide, the toxin in apple seeds, for rabbits is 6 mg/kg. So if they're 5kg then that's 30mg of hydrogen cyanide. 10 grams of appleseed contain about 1 mg of hydrogen cyanide. So you'd need to feed each rabbit about 300 grams of apple seeds. Apple seeds weigh about 6grams per 100, so that's 5000 seeds. Apples have, on average 10 seeds each meaning 500 apples to contain enough cyanide for a 50% chance of killing a rabbit. To dose 3 rabbits would take 1500 apples worth of seeds. Have your rabbits eaten 1500 apples recently or did you harvest the seeds from 1500 apples and feed them to your rabbits?

I've run across a quote saying the quake measured up to about .35g peak ground acceleration. Chch was measured at 1.8-2.2g. I think this quake would barely have been worth a mention if it wasn't for the tsunami.

It already has water snakes.

By my approximate measurements it will be about 68,000 liters.

The queen ant will be horrified to find out she's laying fly eggs...

How about for pond fish? Was talking to my father in law yesterday and he's wanting to put some natives in his pond. I'm not really sure which would be good or where to get them?

I think everyone's seen it before.

From NASA:

All chopped up and ready for freezing.

Taupo's on the list of potentially civilization ending supervolcanos.

Maybe the next one. This one's getting chopped up, boiled and going in the freezer.

I have some. From my garden, going to cut it into pieces now for the fish.

I'm still hoping for zombies in 2012. I need to stock up on buckshot though.

Looks like the quake itself, being well offcoast actually wasn't that bad, the clips I've seen anyway it looks like the actual ground movement in cities was significantly less than chch.

One uppers. :evil:

Also....

Go to the karori wildlife sanctuary and see some tuataras?

Once a day. Sometimes every second day. Occasionally every 3rd if I can't be bothered or can't remember if I fed them the previous day or not.

Yup, I did, though I haven't had any need to adjust my jager heaters after about 1 day after buying them.

A number? Almost a decade! Sad, they were great from what I remember. Didn't they have a huge tank with a remora in it? Or was that somewhere else?

My biggest tank is about 3000X3000X2000 set up as an coldwater cave biotope. No fish, a disturbing amount of bugs in it though last time I opened the access hatch and looked inside.

Well what do you need me here for if you're going to supply your own sarcastic responses?

A CPU won't do you much good without a motherboard, case, ram, video card etc.

Seems most laptops are SERIOUSLY in need of ram upgrades. Most laptops I've used run like absolute crap. Most seem to come with the absolute minimum(Or less) ram they need. If it has hdmi out, cheap media pc.
