Authorities are on the lookout for a pignapper. In Iowa, a thief stole a whole passel of pigs. One Hundred and Twenty to be exact. How do you steal that many pigs? Do you put them in your pickup truck one at a time? Plus, where do you hide them? It's probably an alien abduction. Pigs are actually smarter than dogs (most dogs, not me of course). People who say they are sweating like a pig are actually in error. Pigs only roll in the mud to cool off since they have no sweat glands. They are also the only animal who can get a sunburn. Don't ever tell anyone they live like a pig, because they are actually very clean and will only use their pee-pee pads in one corner of their living area. And to say a food is "pig slop" is also not true. Pigs have 6.000 more taste buds then humans do, so they have a very distinguished pallet. Ben and Jerry's send the waste from making ice cream to local pig farmers to use as feed. Pigs love the stuff, except for one flavor: Mint Oreo. One pig ate so much ice cream that he was 2,552 pounds and 5'9" long. That is only 3/4 inch short then Linda (but 2,422 pounds lighter!) After reading all about pigs, I bet you'll think twice before you bite into that strip of bacon.
