Sometimes truth is so much better than fiction

I was hitting the random button on xkcd today (as you do at work), and came across this comic.

It's hilarious in its own right, until I scrolled over it and the text "the younger folk in the audience think this is a joke" appeared. To which I thought "...Jimmy Carter was attacked by a giant swimming rabbit? No way."

Yes way.

It's sad that my history classes wasted so much time on the Industrial Revolution, and I was never taught something this awesome. I can picture my AP history tests now "please describe how the 1979 rabbit incident is related to Carter's release of Patty Hearst from jail two months earlier. Use at least three primary sources."
