Off Topic - Today Is/Was National Pig Day

Pigs get kind of a bad rap. You can trot out as much evidence as you like showing how clean and intelligent they are, but, really, you’re fighting an uphill battle against their resilient reputation as slovenly animals,. Nevertheless, pork-loving Texan Mary Lynne Rave and her sister Ellen Stanley declared March 1 to be National Pig Day in 1972 to celebrate our swinish friends and conveniently fill the cold, joyless void between Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day. Yum!
