About This Blog
The right to keep and bear arms, occasional attempts at satire, frequent recourse to sarcasm, and anything else I can think of. Oh yeah, and pipe smoking. Sometimes H.P. Lovecraft. And obscure Monty Python references when applicable.

A photo taken in Sheboygan, Wisconsin sometime between 1876 and 1884. Article with a little information and speculation here. Apparently this photo was found and spread via blogging already, and has been used in a caption contest by some apparently well-trafficked website which the article linked above declines to name. But this is the first I've seen it. The winning caption was "Lay still old girl, FEMA's on the way." Not bizarre, just somewhat humorous and odd.

Another enormous wild hog was killed in Georgia, this time supposedly weighing 1,100 pounds.
The famous Hogzilla killed a couple of years ago was claimed to weigh 1,000 pounds and to be 12 feet long, but forensic examination said that it more likely weighed about 800 pounds and was really about 7 1/2 feet long. That is still a huge hog--no doubt about it. If I remember correctly, DNA analysis determined that Hogzilla was actually 1/2 wild boar and 1/2 domesticated Hampshire. The National Geographic folks actually sent a team to check this out, and they had a documentary about it. This time instead of burying the new Megahogzilla, the guy who shot it took it to a truck weigh station and weighed it. Those are big hogs they're growing over there in Georgia. UPDATE: Quid Nimis has a picture! (Thanks to A Keyboard and a .45). |
