4/28/2006: Pig olympics

I bet they are having a blast. Pigs are very smart, sensitive, and enjoy getting out and doing social things. In fact I know they are having a great time... it is awesome to see them having so much fun when so few get to.
This made my day.

hey no fair..my Dad lied to me (this is also applicable to the "lies your parents told you" thread). We have potbellied pigs, and I wanted to see if they could swim but my Dad told me they couldn't swim, cos they would cut their throats with their front hooves. (are they called hooves? I know they're not paws!) next time i'm home i'm gonna throw them in the pond and see for myself

there is something so immediately humourous about pigs, no other animal has that certain 'I don't know what'
these photos are fantastic.

Non-threatening personality, I think. Of course that's because people don't realize how dangerous pigs can be.

It's because of Charlotte's Web and Babe, I think.

The ravenous pigs scene is really downplayed in the movie version of Hannibal.

Mostly, I think of pigs as being rather tasty.
