Hehe…today’s topic is about pig. According to what I’d founded from my collection of Children’s Britannica, pigs are ungulates native to Eurasia collectively grouped under the genus Sus within the Suidae family.(Wow… scientific classification now I realized. I think my parents wanted me to become scientist more than just a science teacher)

Pigs are omnivores. On a small farm or in a large household, they can be fed kitchen scraps as part or all of their diet. In the wild, they are foraging animals. Because of their foraging abilities and excellent sense of smell, they are actually used to find truffles in many European countries. Do you guys know that pigs are one of the most intelligent mammals? And some, such as the Asian pot-bellied pig are kept as pet. They are even more trainable than dogs and cats. Haha…imagine you ‘pig-walk’ your pet in the neighbourhood, and playing frisbee with your pet, and bring it to your duck-hunt…so kewl!! Pigs skin are fragile and delicate, so they use mud as a form of sunscreen to protect their skin from sunburn. This must be why they always are looking rosy pink.

And I’ve come across some cultural references to pigs. Such as both Islam and Judaism forbid the eating of pork, considering it to be an unclean animal. In ancient Greece, a sow was an appropriate sacrifice to Demeter and had been her favorite animal since she had been the Great Goddess of archaic times. Initiates at the Eleusinian Mysteries began by sacrificing a pig. The pig is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar.

There are a lot of unflattering references and idioms involving pigs in many languages. Pigs are usually associated with lazy, stupid, obesity and greed. For your information, pig is also used as derogatory slang term for a police officer in many languages. So please obey if the pigs force you to do the ear-squat because the pigs are the most intelligent, but lazy, stupid and greedy mammals.

A man was driving down the road in the country. He looked over and saw a baby pig in the field. He stopped and picked up the pig. He was driving around town with the pig in the car and a cop sees him and pulls him over. Cop says "Hey, What are you doing with that pig in the car?", driver says "Well, I just found the pig beside the road in the field.", cop says" I want you to take that pig to the zoo!" the driver agrees he will take the pig to the zoo.

So the next day the cop sees the guy driving around again and pulls him over. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO TAKE THAT PIG TO THE ZOO!!" reply, "Well I did take the pig to the zoo. We had such a good time we are going to the ball game now."

Once upon a time, there were 3 little pigs. The straw pig, the
stick pig, and the brick pig.  One day this nasty old wolf came up
to the straw pig’s house and said, "I’m gonna huff and puff, and
blow your house down."
  So he did!
  The straw pig went running over to the stick pig’s house and said,
"Let me in, please, the wolf just blew down my house!!"
  The stick pig let the straw pig in. Then the wolf showed up and
said, "I’m gonna huff and puff, and blow your house down!" 
  And he did!
  So, the straw pig and the stick pig went running over to the brick
pig’s house and said, "Let us in! The wolf just blew down our houses
and we’re scared!"
  So the brick pig let them in. The wolf caught up with them and
said, "I’m gonna huff and puff, and blow your house down."
  While he was huffing and puffing, the straw pig and the stick pig
were so scared!  But the brick pig picked up the phone and called a
friend. A few minutes passed and all of a sudden this big, black
stretch limousine drove up. Out came two massive pigs in pinstriped
suits and fedoras. These huge pigs came over to the wolf and grabbed
him by the neck and proceeded to beat the crap out of him. One of
them pulled out a gun and fired into the wolf’s mouth. Then they got
back into their limo and drove off, leaving the wolf dead on the
street.
  The straw pig and the stick pig were amazed! They asked the brick
pig, "Who the hell were those guys?"
  And the brick pig said, "Oh, those are my cousins, the Guinea Pigs."
