The Easter Weekend in Animalia was very educational, especially for Animalians like Adi, especially with some of the dioramas and attractions.

The Easter Bunny Couple was actually Bunni and Rockwall. The two of them were now officially engaged and already planning a wedding for after Bunni graduated. With both Bunni and Rockwall in both the IAC's Bodybuilding Competition and the Track and Field competition, their training was definitely showing in their physicality. While most everyone else was paying more attention to certain things, Owen was paying more attention to his future family, but that was because he was at the age where he wouldn't notice such things (thank goodness).

Some of the dioramas were about famous stories from the bible, and the science behind it.
For example, one of the stories told during the Easter Vigil was about the Tower of Babel, or Babylon (depending on the bible you were reading). There was also a architecture professor that showed that it was possible to build "into the heavens". The conditions for such a thing was that it would require fired bricks (as mentioned in the story) in a ziggurat-shape. The result was that such a ziggurat would be able to be two miles high, so high that any priests using it might suffer from altitude sickness. But in practice, it would have been impractical because firing bricks required a lot of natural resources in ancient Mesopotamia.
"We understand that the Tower of Babel to have actually happened." said a priest watching the diorama. "Just look at any skyscraper in any modern metropolis, and you'll see 'great towers reaching up to the heavens'."

Meanwhile, another diorama was demonstrating what was considered the greatest underdog story in history: David and Goliath. "David was a hand sling master who had come in to demonstrate how a hand sling was used; while "Goliath" was a nine foot tall pole with a load cell representing the only part of his forehead that wasn't protected by armor.
The demo showed that it was possible for a mere boy to sling a stone so accurately, he'd be able to hit and kill a distant target. But to do so, David would had to have been more skilled than the average late-Bronze-Age shepherd boy in the art of a warrior, or extremely lucky, or (as the bible suggests) truly blessed.

There were still other activities that were already part of Animalia Easter Expositions from before, but it was noticed that it was around this time that the infamous 'Spring Fever' began hitting certain Animalians. But apart from that, it wasn't too bad. In fact, everyone was looking forward to the Earth Day Concert, because it was starring Canary Diamond, Aqua Marina, and New Age Venus (who had just returned from wintering in New Zerzura).
