Rabbit theory
Each time I look out of the window (either the one in front of me or the big one, to my right), I see a rabbit.
However, I always see a rabbit and only one rabbit (so long as it's not too dark and the view of the rabbit is unobstructed).
How do I know if it is the same individual rabbit, that I see, each time? Could it be, through coincidence, selective positioning or other such natural phenomenon, there are many rabbits out there but I only see one of them at a time? If there is more than one rabbit, how do I calculate the total number of rabbits?
Serious question(s).

Re: Rabbit theory
See how many pies or stew you can make of each rabbit then you will have a rough idea or get a paintball gun and use different colours when shooting it.

Re: Rabbit theory
I think it's fairly certain that there must be more than one rabbit, otherwise there wouldn't be any rabbits.

Re: Rabbit theory
Another question is whether rabbits are cheaper at the butchers or the pet shop?

Re: Rabbit theory
If you have snow on the ground count the rabbit tracks and divide by 10 - a rabbit makes tracks like 10 rabbits.

Re: Rabbit theory
To summarise Rabbit Theory to date, I have compiled our determinations in this small list:
He's out there now, watching me type this
- The total number of rabbits may be approximately equal to the total number of rabbit pies.
- Rabbits wearing knitted jackets can be more easily identified by the colour of the wool. Woolly jumpers. Haha. Geddit?
- If there is one rabbit, there "must be more than one rabbit". Unless there is only one rabbit and it came from an egg.
- If you want to buy a rabbit you can save money by purchasing one from a butcher, rather than a pet store.
- In snow, one rabbit makes the tracks of 10 rabbits. Therefore, five rabbit tracks will lead to the rare two-legged rabbit named "Eric".
- The known boundaries defined by modern physics do not constrain our interprovincial time travelling rabbit.

There's probably (vide infra) no need to invoke time travel.
You live in Nova Scotia, therefore certainly have a well. Now Schroedinger's rabbit, confined to your well, will, unless the well is infinitely deep, have a finite probability of quantum tunnelling out of the well.
Once escaped, there will be an equal probability that the rabbit can be observed anywhere at all outside of the well.
Outside of any of your windows, or near Peterborough. Even in my backyard.
Now, I was out for a smoke earlier and watched three (3) rabbits gambling around there. They weren't all the same size (or colour) so I formulated the hypothesis that they may have been observations of the same Schroedinger rabbit at different stages of its ex-well development.
This could be evidence of time travel or of quantum entanglement.
What do you think?
