Well, not quite.

One of the things we really like about cruising is going out exploring
in the dinghy. This afternoon we found a nice beach on an island
north of Green Turtle Cay that appeared to be deserted. Less than two
minutes after landing however, a couple of local inhabitants came out
to greet us. After polite apologies were offered, we were allowed to
leave quickly and quietly:

Cool - ok, maybe not so cool, but interesting.

I read something in NatGeo a year or so back and watched a documentary
about feral piggies - it was actually about "Hogzilla" I think, but
there was a long detailed explanation about feral pigs in the
documentary.

Apparently, pigs revert when they go feral - their hair gets long,
tusks grow, they get much more aggressive, they get longer and leaner
and as they are already smart, can become very dangerous. It was
pretty interesting to watch.

"Babe" pretty much proved how smart pigs are.
I think that was based on a true story.
Pigs are really gentle, affectionate and trainable.
An all-around admirable companion for mankind.
After watching that I almost became a vegetarian.
Two things stopped me.
Bacon and baby back ribs.

On the other hand, why do all of the women I know claim that men are pigs?
Well, we are trainable, supposedly. . lol
