Haiti: Pig Irradication and Repopulation It is probable that the Creole pig, because of the high population it achieved during the past 500 years (which had exceeded all estimates, causing cost over-runs during the eradication and compensation phase of the program), was able to exist with similar or greater problems, unnoticed due to its numbers. Reports of studies of the Haitian Creole pig moreover, claim a litter size at weaning not exceeding four piglets, compared to the 8-9 per litter of the introduced breeds (even in Haiti the weaning rate is reported to be 8.2). As is customary, the pigs were held in quarantine for observation and testing for contracted pseudo-rabies, and many of the animals died. www.webster.edu /~corbetre/haiti/misctopic/pigs/gaertner.htm   (5970 words)

Flying pig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Possibly the first occurrence of a pig actually "flying" occurred in 1909 when the British aviation pioneer Lord Brabazon made the first live air cargo flight with a pig in a basket tied to a wing-strut of his airplane. A flying pig is an unofficial symbol of the city of Cincinnati, Ohio. A flying or floating pig is one of the symbols associated with the rock band Pink Floyd and often appeared at concerts in the form of a large pig balloon. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/When_pigs_fly   (793 words)

Wired News: The Art of Rat-Powered Pigs Wings Pig Wings, which will be presented as part of the Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (BEAP) this August, will showcase wing-shaped objects made from living pig tissue, wings that will be animated using living muscles grown from rat cells. Tissue Culture and Art project, whose goal is to create a vision of futuristic objects that are partly artificially constructed and partly grown/born, the semi-living pig's wings explores the area of xenotransplantation -- the transplantation of cells, tissues or organs from non-humans. Though the pig wings that have been developed now are only about an inch long, Guy sees mainstream treatment to replace whole complex organs in general, as being only around 10 to 15 years away. www.wired.com /news/culture/0,1284,52052,00.html   (826 words)

Concurring Opinions: If Pigs Had Wings Some years ago, US Air allowed a woman and her daughter who invoked the ADA to bring into first class their 250 pound potbelly pig. The flying pig, seated between seats 1A and 1C, stayed quiet for most of the Seattle to Philadelphia flight, presumably providing silently its emotional support. But when the plane landed, the pig ran up the aisle, tried to enter the cockpit and then sat stubbornly in the galley until lured out with food. www.concurringopinions.com /archives/2006/05/if_pigs_had_win.html   (457 words)

Do Pigs Have Wings? You may have heard the old saying, "When pigs fly!" It's a way of describing something that can never happen.

Pigs Take Wings -- 03/07/2000 Nonetheless we compare the anomalous temperature only from Karl's record with climate models and find that the models don't show this type of warming unless we up their overall forecast of global warming by fifty percent as a result of this change point, except that climate models don't exhibit change points. Pigs don't fly, but if they did, here's what they would look like. The 1997-98 temperature rise that led Karl's research teams to conclude that a "change point" had occurred in the rate of global temperature increase has been equaled by the temperature decline since then. www.cnsnews.com /ViewEnviro.asp?Page=\Enviro\archive\ENV20000307a.html   (957 words)
