I completely disagree!!
1. Pigs CAN fly. One of my best friends, who always said she would never get married or have children (she felt called to her career) once took me for a car ride and told me... that she was engaged. I started making, "WUH WAH" noises, and she was like, "What IS that?" I told her, "It's the sound of pigs flying."
Not only do they fly, they can apparently travel to magical, mythical places as well... seeing as she and her husband starting having children (notice, plural!) a few years later.
2. I completely disagree. I think this thread has been brought to us by the letter B. It just likes to keep a lower profile.
