    I would say it was sometime soon after Jesus Christ adorned bunny rabbit ears and started laying chocolate eggs?

    Oh no wait...

    I don't do that. I just make sarcastic comments about being crucified, not reccomended.;)

    Probably a Roman on Calvary with a warped sense of humour.

    "Oi, you up there - Happy Easter"

    Well the Easter Bunny/Egg tradition was invented in Germany in the early 1600's. So it probably started somewhere then.

    Of course, once the Americans got hold of the tradition, they bastardised it into its modern version much like they did with Santa Claus.

    Dunno, but think it was incorporated into existing pagan traditions.

    Ah to think, a few hours ago, 2,000 years ago or so, Jesus died and was now laying in his tomb waiting to become zombie Jesus.
