xoB, via Neatorama, sends this along. At first you're like, hey sheep. Then you're like, hey wait.

This Sun article says a curly pig was found in South America, thought to be a one of a kind animal. But the pics on this page are from Pig Paradise Farm, where they tell the story of different curly pig breeds that were stocked in Britain, Hungary, and Austria.

They're really cool looking. But thankfully, IotD does not communicate smells.

Look like sheep, smell like goat, taste like chicken?

And why would anyone want a furry pig? Fuzzy footballs?

I saw that first picture and I immediately thought, that is the UGLIEST poodle I have ever seen.

Here in I O way we can have the luxury of picking the pig that will become our dinners if we wish. From now on, I'm only eating pork from curly haired pigs. Maybe it will give me the curls that eating the crust of my bread never did. Damn you mom.

Rearranging:
normal men = normal pigs
scottish men = these pigs

*disclaimer: My great grandfather was Scottish.

Curly pigs = curly bacon.

The Chicago Futures Market will now open a trading pit for Fuzzy Pork Bellies.

rashers don't get as curly if you cook them in the oven.
morie • Sep 22, 2007 8:04 am
