With Easter Sunday right around the corner, it’s time to celebrate the birth of the Easter Bunny after the crucifixion of a pilot who was carrying chocolate eggs or something. To be honest, I’m not really an expert when it comes to the basis of various holiday traditions; I’m just in it for the food.
