  12. Big story on 'human interest' slot on news tonight: pot-bellied pigs
  13. bought during the craze a few years ago are all now turning into
  14. whopping 18-stone monsters...  most people are either having them put
  15. down, or paying big bucks to have them stay on a farm.  (The obvious
  16. solution isn't on, apparently, because they're inedible...)

  18. One thing that hasn't helped is that a lot of the Dodge Geezers who
  19. sold these pigs actually were selling crosses between Vietnamese Pot-bellies
  20. and standard farmyard pigs...
