I can't stop thinking about this story. A pig was wearing a pedometer to prove it was free range. It ate it, shitted it out, it caught fire which spread in the dry hay and the blaze covered 75 square metres. https://t.co/yzLfA9zRBE

*Stolen. Expect to see it again.
How can even the best satire compete with this reality.

more reality…
“Exeter University economics lecturer is branded
transphobic by LGBT and feminist students after
tweeting ‘only females menstruate’ in response to
user who claimed otherwise.”

Well flaming dung-balls, who could have seen that coming?
lol, thanks for the laugh Kate.
The whole story is comically bizarre from beginning to end. This proves once again that truth is indeed stranger than fiction as nobody could make this up if they tried.
Poor Piggy, hope it wasn’t painful to pass.
Well if it got tenderized in the process, we should feed one to every pig.
I thought Leeds was a swine free zone due to the large Muslim population. No Pork Pies For You.
I shiite ewe knot!!!!
Was Elon Musk in the area ?
At first I read that Alice Bell ate a pig, shitted it out and the pig caught fire. I was going to refer her to a doctor. But now I read that 75 sq m of farmland was “destroyed” by a pedometer-ignited pig fire. I’m pretty sure that’s only a few Manhattans. Back to the stock market crash, the coronavirus outbreak and the slow destruction of Bernie Sander’s election campaign.
No, the fire was caused by climate change.

MMMhhhh….. barbecued pork.
Praise Allah and pass the bacon.
Reminds me of the following: “In the course of his duties in August 1977, a Dutch veterinary
surgeon was required to treat an ailing cow. To investigate its internal
gases he inserted a tube into that end of the animal not capable of facial
expression and struck a match. The jet of flame set fire first to some
bales of hay and then to the whole farm causing damage estimate at L45,000.
The vet was later fined L140 for starting a fire in a manner surprising to
the magistrates. The cow escaped with shock.”
