Research Proposal

Re: Application for Research Funds
The following is a research proposal for the development of Giant Mutant Ninja Attack Rabbits. Lepus americanus will be engineered to maximize their size and aggressiveness. Early results have generated rabbits that are 10% +/- 0.5% larger than average. Resultant kits also have great giant sharp teeth like so. We believe that with additional research funds we can take the lab out for an evening of drinking tequila, after which we should have at least three decent ideas and fifteen preposterous ones for increasing rabbit size. With enough money, tequila, and frantic evenings in the lab, we will develop rabbits that are eight feet tall and perpetually cranky. These rabbits will then be trained by the military-industrial complex in kung fu, karate, jiu-jitsu, hap ki do, and any other martial arts with a nifty-sounding name. The resultant brigade of Giant Mutant Attack Rabbits will be critical in the maintenance of domestic security. They will also strike awe and fear in any former vengeance demons, thereby assuring their docility.
The PI,
Budget
1. 1 (one) Research Assistant: salary, scrubs, training in bad accents, cackling menacingly
2. 1 (one) Public Relations associate: salary, web hosting fees, timbits, tea, maple
3. 2 (two) lagomorph administrative aides: yogurt chips, hay
4. Reseach costs: $7 gazillion USD

Dear madam,
It has been brought to my attention by my colleague the Intelligence Minister that you are in possession of some startling facts about the Scottish peoples love for sheep.
Allow me to set you straight on this.
At first glance, what are referred to as the 'Celtic' Peoples can be difficult to tell apart. The unkempt and ragged appearance is common to both the Scots, Welsh and Irish. However, following this simple guide, you need never be confused again.
The Irish have the excellent sense of humour, and are always great craick to be around.
The Scots by contrast are somewhat dour, possesing a strong line in gallows humour, but they do have the sexy accents to make up for it.
The Welsh entirely lack the Irish sense of fun, and the Scots sexiness, and are in fact a truly miserable race. They can however always be recognised by their intense and profound love of 4-legged herbivores.
There are however strong 'Welsh Tendencies' in Aberdeenshire. But the rules of reality are strongly warped in and around Aberdeenshire, so that region should be considered entirely seperate to the Scottish nation.
I trust this clears things up.
Yrs,
The Gonzo Interior Minister.

RE: Celtic Taxonomy
Dear Sir
Thank you for providing us with a handy reference guide to Celtic peoples. We are adding this information to our database as we speak. In short:
Irish- humor (related to whiskey consumption? more research required)
Scots - sexy accent (must check whether sexy factor applies in circumstances where accent makes speech unintelligible)
Welsh - miserable. Duly noted.
Your help is greatly appreciated. We dearly love to put people in boxes. evil snicker
Yrs sincerely,
CSO, BIFENESE
