AS I KEEP REPEATING ENDLESSLY—(no, not "with the Right it's *always* projection", although yes, that too)—*do not trust* an oviparous lagomorph, lagomorphs are universally viviparous, an oviparous one is *obviously* Wrong, there is obviously some ghastly parasitic reproductive cycle in play here and it will all end in tears and screaming when the "egg" opens.

@cstross "OK, children, what do we do when we see a giant, man-sized rabbit-like abomination that lays eggs? … No, ‘we collect up the eggs and pop them in our mouths' is the WRONG answer. The correct answer is ‘We kill it with fire.’ That will be all for today. And don't forget to take your flamethrowers as you leave the classroom.”
