All the information you need.
Personally, I'd say you'd better be prepared to own a rabbit before you even think about getting one. They're not little cage animals like a fish, who can stay locked up forever and not suffer for it. But they're not like dogs or cats, either, they don't usually like to be held, they have delicate backs and necks, they need a good diet or you run into an array of gastrointestinal problems, there's spaying/neutering to consider, daily interaction, etc...
If you can handle that, well, I've known some awesome rabbits. Great personalities and playful to boot. I had a flemish giant who loved to be showered with attention and affection. He was hilarious, racing through the house or yard, jumping up in the air, kicking his back legs out one way and twisting his front legs another. We'd give him a phone book and he'd sit and turn the pages. He picked up litter training like he'd done it all his life.
BUT.. he was huge, destructive, and ran up some pretty impressive vet bills when I first got him because I didn't know what I was doing.
tl;dr Awesome pets, but know what you're getting into beforehand.
