Get the rabbit sense mug.A giant wooden rabbit featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. After the scene in which the French soldier taunts King Arthur and his knights at the French castle, Arthur has his men, on the advice of Sir Bedevere, build the Trojan Rabbit in order to storm the castle in the manner that the Greeks did during the Trojan War. However, the knights mess up the plan by not having anyone hide inside the rabbit. After the French soldiers take the rabbit into their castle, Sir Bedevere reveals the plan to King Arthur and everyone else and they realize that they messed it up. The French soldiers then catapult the wooden rabbit out of the fortress and it lands one of the pages.
-King Arthur: What happens now?
-Sir Bedevere: Well, now, uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I, uh, wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the French, uh, by surprise. Not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!
-Arthur: Who leaps out?
-Bedevere: U-- u-- uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I. Uh, leap out of the rabbit, uh, and uh...
-Arthur: Ohh... (he and Lancelot slowly put their hands to their heads at the realization that they messed up)
-Bedevere: Oh. Um, l-- look, i-- i-- if we built this large wooden badger--
(twang of a catapult is heard from the French castle and the Trojan Rabbit comes flying towards where the knights are hiding)
-Arthur: Run away!
-Other knights: Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away!

Get the Grouchy Rabbit mug.Refers to a waistcoat-wearing, pocket-watch-wielding white rabbit, hurrying along and muttering, "Oh dear! I shall be late!" in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (1865), whom Alice follows down a rabbit hole into Wonderland.
Awesome rock band Jefferson Airplane's 1967 song White Rabbit retold the story of Alice's adventures as though they were a psychedelic drug trip. But whether you take it literally or metaphorically, following the white rabbit means following an unlikely clue, an innocuous, unbelievable (but also, frankly a bit ridiculous) sign, to find oneself in the midst of more or less extraordinary, marvelous, amazing circumstances that challenge one's fundamental beliefs, expand one's horizons &/or perception of realities, transform one's perspective, and change one's life.
The phrase has become commonplace in popular culture; e.g. in the 1999 film The Matrix, the resistance fighter folks use the trope of following a white rabbit to lead Neo/Mr Anderson/The One out of the matrix. Oddly enough, though, the phrase hasn't filtered through as a metaphor in non-fantastical contexts to any appreciable degree. Outside of science fiction or fantasy, if a writer refers to the white rabbit, s/he is almost certainly specifically alluding to previous uses, usually to Carroll. (We should change that!)

'There's something fishy going on here.'
'Well,' said Q, jerking her head toward the door to the stairwell, through which the tattooed woman was disappearing. 'You'd better follow the white rabbit, then.'
