If you didn't know, I like pigs.

I collect things that are pig related. I have over 275 pig related items in my possesion. This does not count my pig-patterned socks (because I have quite a few of those.)

I sometimes label my works as created by "Hyper Piggie Studios" - I've been using this name since Jr. High. I have a group of pig cartoon characters I've made called Team Hyper Piggie - they have wacky hijinks.

I am saddened by the "swine flu" scare. Ignorant people who blame it on pigs.

Pigs are not sick, disease ridden creatures. They're adorable and very smart. Swine flu for pigs is like regular flu for humans. It's not super deadly, the pigs catch it, get a little sick, and it is defeated by their immune system. A strain that the pigs catch has been transfered to humans. It's going to work like the flu does in humans, they'll catch it, get sick, and defeat it with their immune system. It's like ANY OTHER FLU.

The reason it's such a scare is because since this is a new strain of flu for humans, which means we don't have immunities to it already built up. Young children and elderly should watch out, but as long as you practice common hygne to stay healthy, you should be fine. Swine flu is no more deadly than any other type of flu.

I realize that anyone with access to wikipedia can get this info, but I just wanna shout it out. Piggies luv you, they are not to blame.
