Had to Google, and I see it's a Watership Down reference. I never read that book, for some reason. Oh wait, I see it was published in 1972. I was in college at the time, going to school full time and working part time, and I just didn't have much time for recreational reading during those years. Maybe I will take a look at it one of these days.
