Eccentricity

Anyone passing through Oxford? Not sure what's eccentric about typewriters, but the Eccentricity Exhibition promises a few and it might be worth a look at some 'museum pieces' before it closes.  If I get to see it, I'll post some photos.

Full museum collection listed here.

Lepus europaeus

I didn't have anything much to say about typewriters. Been thinking about exhuming a Remington Rand Model 1, which is in much worse shape than it looks... 

Anyway, I was archiving some photos and found this. It is a stuffed European hare (Lepus europaeus) which is part of a hands-on exhibit at an Ofxord museum. You can sometimes see live ones in the local fields. Anyone knows a connection between a hare and a typewriter - please let me know!
