I am not sure where I am going with this today as it really isn't anything new for those of you that keep up on pop culture. Most people know that George Clooney had a pot bellied pig as a pet and gave him credit for saving his life,waking him up before the Northridge earthquake on January 6,1994...and probably that Max,the same pot bellied pig died on December 1,2006.
What I didn't know was that pot bellied pigs got big enough to weigh 300 pounds,I was under the illusion that they stayed fairly small. Here is where it gets really silly...fans after hearing of Max's death sent George six pot bellied pigs to replace him! Firstly George didn't want to replace him,after 19 years of living with him it would be a hard thing to do,and never mind that most people prefer to pick out there own pets. George being kind hearted managed to find good homes for the six pigs which is no easy task as not everyone wants a pig for a pet,nor has a good place to keep one. I guess this is a prime example of "it's the thought that counts"? Or maybe not thinking?

You gotta love a man who loves his pig....
