I had a rather humorous conversation with a witty individual yesterday about this :)
Hi again. I did too.  We started with the challenges of having bacon and sausage for breakfast. What was the interesting angle?
Haha yes. We talked about how we would have to worry about things much more dangerous than bird poop falling on car's windshields. And also, would tree branches be able to support them when they landed on them? A bird is plenty lighter than a pig.
What a mess that would be.  I hadnt considered that
Also, we would have to grow accustomed to the sounds of "oinks" in the sky instead of chirps. I feel that would throw us off, causing more traffic accidents, and mistrust in the general population.
If pigs flew, maybe they would not be fat
So would they not be as delicious? If you wanted to keep it in a pen, or have a docile one, would you clip it's wings like those of a chicken?
Good question.  We assume they would have wings.  But what if they did not.  And what if they flew some other way
Oh wow, maybe I've been picturing them wrong in my head for the last 24 hours. But I definitely always felt like their tail had something to do with it.
Ya.  Maybe their tails were like propellers.  That might explain why they are curly
For sure. But, raising the point of clipping again, we could clip their tails.
Those pig ears resemble the wings on some of the new fighter jets.  What if pigs were really aggressive predators and very nimble and fast flyers. Now that would be a scary image.
But their body would be so large in proportion to those ears, not matter how muscled and primed they were. Their bodies would be sagging as they flew Their rear ends would touch power lines and such. Much too dangerous. Evolution would not have allowed that to happen. They naturally would have gone extinct. It can't be the ears.
Pigs like to rub against things to scratch.  If they could fly, what would they chose to scratch against.
Mountain peaks. And school roofs. But then raises the question about the affinity to mud. Mud isn't ever in the sky.
Wow. Now we are getting deep.
So...is flying a rare occurrence and they maintain most of their time in the mud? Or are they adapting out of their love of mud? I mean, our children are going to be raised with a whole other concept of what a pig is and does. I'm not ready for that. It'll be like our parents explaining floppy disks. They'll understand, but not truly comprehend what life was like before. Next we will have horses that only walk on their back two legs. We will have giants walking among us. Dun dun dunnnnnnn
Haha.  Sorry I have not commented on this thread.  You are just running circles around me.  Its cool though. I am impressed.
Thank you :) who knew that 10 PM was my time to shine. Besides, the other topics being discussed are more important in the long run.... as cool as changing main characteristics of animals is. haha
I agree.
So I'm gonna end this chat. No hard feelings about ending the pig talk? I'm trying to come up with an incredible pun, but I am drawing blanks except for a Spanish one. Idk if you know Spanish but I'll share it regardless.
Thank you.  We seem to be doing great on the other two chat threads.  I think we can do our part for the school's science project without causing an anuarism
Hay que parar con las porquerias
I probably spelled that wrong -- and your husband would know better what to do if we did
