Hogzilla

Art Scott suggests that I forgot to blog this last year, and I'm too lazy to check. You should click the link for the photo.

FOXNews.com - Alabama Boy Kills 1,051-Pound Monster Pig, Bigger Than 'Hogzilla' - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News: "An 11-year-old Alabama boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog that just may be the biggest pig ever found.

Jamison Stone's father says the hog his son killed weighed a 1,051 pounds and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. Think hams as big as car tires."

As I recall there were later some disputes regarding the size and the kill. the beastie got sliced and diced before any reputable source could measure or verify. And there was lots of speculation that a) the kid did not do the kill and b) the gun did not have the firepower to do the job.

It's on the Internet. It must be true.

The controversy was that it wasn't a wild pig, it was domestic.

I wondered why Uncle Louie didn't come home that night from the OA meeting.
