  • R.I.P Chris

  • Christopher Hitchens is one of the few public figures in all of human history who publicly acknowledged what my grandfather did decades ago: "There are no dirty pigs, just dirty farmers." We despise the pig for the sins of the human.

  • Miss Piggy does in fact have better manners than the biblical deity.

    RIP Christopher

  • Polynesian cannibals called human meat "long pig," supposedly because the taste is very similar.

  • "Cramped together in sties, pigs tend to act swineishly and to have noisy and nasty fights"

    It is actually amazing how close to humans they are in that respect... Just another way of telling how close our biological relation to pigs is.

  • If you are sick of religious privilege/nonsense in the UK, consider joining the National Secular Society, who do great work in reducing the impact of religion on public life.

    Isn't it time you took some action?

  • My hs bio teacher once told us of a true story in which her husband lost some flesh from his arm in a car accident. To prevent a staph infection, the doctors covered his partly skinless arm with the skin of a pig. The pig skin however, rather quickly, fused with his human skin, and he was literally growing and regrowing pig skin cells, just as human skin cells are regularly grown and regrown. He of course had it removed, but this story certainly says a lot about man's similarities with the pig.
