I have no idea what this is, but the hieroglyphic text says:

Wn-pw sxc.t nds.t
"Once upon a time there was a little rabbit..."
These happen to be the opening words of Peter Rabbit. Of course, there are four little rabbits, but they cut off the Egyptian text before the numeral, so I guess you only take one small rabbit or something.

I still don't get it.

Wow.

[The icon is my "random weirdness" icon; it happens to fittingly display a rabbit.]

I have no idea what you're talking about... so here's a bunny with a pancake on its head.

Incidentally, my first exposure to the pancake rabbit is that photocopies of it were stuck on all the doors in the linguistics department where I did my undergrad. I was curious and made inquiries about how they got there, and apparently it was somewhat mysterious - no one ever owned up to putting them there.
