This website may seem at first glance to be a fluffy amusement, but look
at the web page harder.  This page may be just what the doctor (PhD)
ordered to get the high school or middle school student who views going to
the library to do research as a subversive unAmerican activity to change
or at least slightly modify their views.  You folks may also enjoy this
page a great deal yourselves, it certainly has been roaring through the
library discussion list circuit.

Peeps arrival at the library

About this project

One list on which this page was gleefully announced, the LawLib list got
this rejoinder from a member of the list highlighting the serious
pedagogical side of this web production:

"Note that legal literature plays an important role in this research
study.  The book that caused the tragic accident shown in the section "The
Feasibility of Peeps and Library Usage" is Percival E. Jackson's The Law
of Cadavers and of Burial and Burial Places (2d ed 1950)."

Another LawLib member chimed in that she lived at the birthplace of these
fluffy creatures and contributed this related web URL

For any who want to turn these creatures from the researcher to the
research subject, here is the website for you:

Those resilient little birds...
