No, seriously...what was the original topic again? I am confuseth.
Something about porcine aviation, was that it?
I believe when you start a topic, you should stick EXCLUSIVELY to that topic, and not deviate from it.
The science of pig flying began in Italy during the 14th century. Lorenzo di Vincenzo Alfredo Carmine Crocetti III spent a good 35 years of his life trying to prove to the world that pigs could fly. He would take generations of swine from neighboring gardens (he didn't have his own pigs, ya see, so he was technicaly a pig-thief), and drop them off of cliffs. Unfortunately, 99.99999999% of the little piggies ended up falling straight down (SPLAT!) When neighbors enquired about their missing pigs, Lorenze di Vincenzo Alfredo Carmine Crocetti III would simply shrug and say "I dunno. Swine flu, perhaps?"
One miraculous day, Lorenzo di Vincenzo Alfredo Carmine Crocetti III actually DID get a purloined pig to fly, whom historians have since dubbed "Fred." Lorenzo etc. etc. III held Fred out in front of him, raised his leg, and with a mighty force, kicked Fred. Fred flew through the air for approximately 3.5 seconds, before landing unceremoniously with a loud THUD!
By now, the authorities were onto the pig-napper, witnessed Lorenzo di Vincenzo Alfredo Carmine Crocetti III's bizarre behavior, put two and two together, and arrested him for animal cruelty. Lorenzo etc. etc. III spent his last days in an asylum, still ranting that he made a pig fly!
What Lorenzo di Vincenzo Alfredo Carmine Crocetti III actually invented was the modern game of American football, where the ball in question is referred to as a "pigskin."
Oh yeah...
TOAST!
