It was the herd shot 'round the world. - ChronicColonic, on 10/12/2007, -5/+56@jmkiii
' is is an apostrophe. ' = apostrophe. - = hyphen.
Edit....need to refresh screen sooner. I guess I-m the ass'hole. - InfinitySnatch, on 10/12/2007, -3/+52It had to be done, but you did it horribly. Now it's just ruined.

- knaps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10This little piggy went to the market, this little piggy went home. This little piggy GOT HOOKED TO ELECTRODES AND SHOT UP TO SPACE IN A METAL CAPSULE.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9This rates pretty high on the stupid scale
- MaxwellTD, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12I'll believe this when pigs fly.
Oh, wait... never mind. - fugazi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9This was their plan for taking over the world? To launch drunk pigs at us...

"And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the ham they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket ham
Rocket ham burning out his fuse up here alone." - lonemarauder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That is a missile.

- Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Police Officer + Plane/Helicopter = Flying Pig.
- kazuhima, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6i knew i'd stumble on the "in soviet russia" line....
- funkytaco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The one time the 'mothe russia' joke is kind of relevant... :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Why the cushioned helmet and dirty face, are these two guys mentally special?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3mmm....space bacon
- hohead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I just tried to find a torrent of this movie, but couldn't. Unfortunately it appears to be too obscure. Bummer.
FYI, here is the IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459929/ - triofpwr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Pigs in Space" echo echo echo that segment was was funny when I watched the show
- gmallard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I have seen pigs fly.
Pink Floyd concert, Animals, Soldier's Field, 1976 - funkonomics, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Don't let my wife see this!
I told her we'd go to India when pigs flew - AllnightChemist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Technology/ design" in the same way "Monkey Torture" is a new branch of science.

- aroundtown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pigs like vodka.
- arvster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He he. They're feeding the pig with Kagor wine before the flight. That was a drunk pig in space :)
- dundug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Space is infinite. Space is full of more than just pigs, it is full of humans too!
- RogueJediX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wonder. Was this inspired by The Muppet Show's Pigs in Space segment or vice versa?
- 3amfriday, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Surreal...and kinda cute too.

- victorycig, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4The herd shot 'round the world?
You're a junior high school science teacher, aren't you? ;) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1While this information has been declassified... it is still not widely known to the general public.
All pigs enrolled in space programs around the world feel somewhat uncomfortable working with human counterparts. So an ingenious idea was introduced in the pig space program. It was concieved by the Russians... but was quickly adopted by other pig space programs around the globe. The solution was simple. The scientists needed to look like pigs. So they spread mud over their faces when working with their fat four-legged friends.
The cushioned helmet should be obvious. Perhaps you have never been on the receiving end of a rocket propelled porker heading right at your cranium?! Trust ME when I say... Your gonna want that cushioned helmet.... your gonna WANT it real bad! - skyfire1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@grandpa
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! - koozebane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm always up for a Pigs in Space thread.
