[edit] Invader Zim/Pink Floyd connection

Does anyone have proof that the pig seen through Invader Zim is a reference to the PF pig?Konczewski 15:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] inflatable animals

It may be worth mentioning that Floyd had experimented with inflatable animals much earlier, such as an inflatable octopus in 1971: http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/Garden-party-71.html 67.101.221.84

[edit] JONES BEACH N.Y. 09 15 06

       The GREAT PIG IN THE SKY:

                THE PIG GOT FREE AGAIN AT JONES BEACH SHOW.
                LAST SEEN FLOATING TOWARD THE ATLANTIC OCEAN


[edit] October 10, Shoreline Ampitheater, Mountain View, CA=

The pig got free and floated off toward the North. I tracked it visually for perhaps twenty minutes and then lost sight. The article page states that Waters said, "Have you seen my pig?". In actuallity he said, "Did anyone out there see what happened to my pig?" Several people shouted and pointed toward the sky, to which he sort of shrugged, smiled, and said, "Shit Happens".

I spent a few minutes online and couldn't really find a definitive answer. Is the pig set free intentionally? I would be surprised if that is the case given the danger of having a large, inflatable object floating next to the ocean and sandwiched between three international airports and several small-craft community airports. My only thought toward that end is that it could (theoretically) be tethered to a rather long line, however I suspect I would have seen that given I was no more than 100 feet away from where the handlers were last seen.
