- The late Robert Anton Wilson said this about a six foot white rabbit in Ireland :
"Yes. Gee, there's so much to say about Dublin, now -- I look at the clock -- how can I? Oh, I'll talk about County Kerry instead.
County Kerry has a six-foot-tall white rabbit called the Pookah, and this rabbit hangs around pubs late at night. When people get thrown out of the pubs at 10:30 (which is when they close), the Pookah waits and grabs one of them on his way home and drags him off into an alternative reality, where all the laws of science are reversed, time and space are all mixed up. It's very much like one of my novels -- although I like this new movie, Jacob's Ladder. And you spend thousands and thousands of years over there -- millenniums -- and you meet Finn MacCool and all the ancient Irish heroes: the Wizard of Oz, Luke Skywalker, Shiva, Krishna, the Devas -- all these figures.
When the Pookah gets tired of playing with you and lets you go, you're back on the road and it's only a few minutes after you left the pub -- because the Pookah can reverse time, stretch time, condense it, anything like that. The Pookah is not limited by time.
Of course, the probability of encountering the Pookah is said by Dublin's cynics to be directly proportional to the number of pints of Guinness Stout you had in the pub that night."
In light of the above, one way of looking at it is Rasta man smoketh a bit of the holy herb and, feeling very irie indeed, simply imagined the monster.
Wait! What is that at my door?!? NO!!!! IT CAN'T BE!!!! STAY AWAY!!!!!

There's something strange lurking in the bushes in Scott Town, Manchester and it has the whole town abuzz. It's unlike anything anyone there has ever seen before. The creature has been spotted in Maas Helton's banana field more than once and now the shaken man is afraid to leave his bed at night.
"Di first time me see di sinting, mi just took off! Mi nah go lay lay and mek it nyam mi raw!" Maas Helton said. ...
... "It was around 3 o'clock inna di morning. Mi decide fi get up early and go inna mi field. Mi and mi dog go round a di back and mi only see when the dog walk off. So mi stand up one side fi see where him a go. Den mi hear one digging noise and mi look and see something a dig up di banana tree. Mi frighten now and bend down behind one bush and a watch. Mi see di dog walk up to di creature and den mi just hear whoo, whoo! When mi hear dat mi gallop weh left all di dog! Dem bwoy out a road say mi too fraid, but mi nuh care!" Maas Helton shouted.
He said the creature had four long and narrow legs like a goat and a long face with an obvious snout. It was furry and about twice the size of a large dog.
"It front foot hab on four claw and it move very fast. If you quint too fast then you miss it," he said.
Now news of the strange animal spread across the community like wildfire and soon, plans for a public execution were put in place.
At the crack of dawn the next day, almost everyone from the community turned up at Maas Helton's home, wielding machetes and carrying torches. "Dem come say dem ready fi kill di brute. Everybody ready fi chop him up. Anyhow dem did ketch him, a murder," Maas Helton said. ...
