Save Toby!
Hoax or real? Some person is demanding US$50,000 in donations or they’ll eat Toby the rabbit. Almost unbelievably, $20,000 in donations has already been received. Shame that money didn’t go somewhere deserving.
An Australian lazily surfing the web rings British police after he sees what appears to be a crime on a British webcam.
Tokyo’s Saikyo subway line begins operation of a women-only carriage, to prevent groping.
Looks like Charles and Camilla’s wedding will clash with the Pope’s funeral, putting the Tony Blair and the Archbishop of Canterbury in an awkward position. I think I’d rather farewell the Pope, myself.

Save Toby… It’s morally sickening, but totally legal. I’m tempted to parody it with a site where I threaten to eat my newborn son (remember, I said *parody*). He’s cuter than Toby.

Save Toby is not real…the page on Snopes.com (urban legends reference pages) is published above.

.. indeed as it says in the (Age) article this is not the first train line in Japan to do so, they started in 2002.

I think this is sick and wrong, and will only encourage others to do the same thing. I was already able to find one site where the person has already ate one rabbit.

There’s a funny spoof of this website at www.saveophelia.org. A girl is asking that strangers help her save her goldfish in the form of an ipod.

Hoax or not, this site makes a pretty good case for NOT saving the rabbit!
