FALSE!

If the 6 “limbs” include the specialized limbs on its head, then the Easter Bunny is not an insect because the 6 legs on an insect come out of its thorax.

This means…the Easter Bunny is an alien! I’m on to you alien sympathizer!

Who is to say what's part of the thorax and what not? There are other instances of insects having a thorax that looks divided. In some insects (I think it was beetles) most of the "abdomen" is actually their thorax and so forth...

I’m currently rereading the Ender Saga and I’m in the middle of Speaker for the Dead - such a good series

Speaker for the dead was 93% of the value. The rest it started with. It was meaningful. I don't mean to negate that. It really just Rubiksish puzzle dimensplaining.
