[edit] Pigs herded into the Bay to feed

The following text was moved here from the article:

OK. I know that this will be deleted by the powers that be, but I hope that someone will see this and maybe help. Sometime, roughly 20, 25 years ago, I read a piece in a newspaper about the Bay of Fundy. The gist of the article was that local farmers would herd their pigs onto the low tide area of the Bay and let them feed on the stuff that was left after the water receded. Then, the pigs would have to scurry to higher land when the tide came back in. Because of their diet and exercise that they received, these pigs produced very lean bacon. I told this story to my wife at the time and she laughed for hours on end. I know to a mortal certainity that I read this somewhere, but I've never been able to track it down. Does anyone else ever remember reading this? If so, email me at dropball@gmail.com and let me know that I'm not crazy. Thanks. JB (User:68.97.116.155).

[edit] The quest for world tidal dominance

I just wanted to say that I loved the "The quest for world tidal dominance..." paragraph. It absolutely cracked me up, and I was glad to see it. Sometimes, the quest for pure NPOV drains all the life and humor out of an article (the 1911 Britannica certainly wouldn't pass Wikipedia's standards), and whoever wrote this deserves kudos for adding a light touch without sacrificing encyclopedic quality.
