[edit] Merge

I suggest merging When pigs fly into this article. That article has much more useful content than this one, but this article's title is consistent with subjects like Exploding whale et al. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs, blog) 04:40, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Agree. The original article was practically vandalism, but the decent content in it now ought to be incorporated here and the article redirected to this one. --Tysto 21:50, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

I think it looks pretty good. I also seperated it from the novel/s, so that more can be added for TV Series aswell as other books and novels. Dead-Inside 12:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] There's also an English poem I ran across:

     And Pigs Might Fly
     author unknown

     It was crisis day in the parliament 
     The house was hushed and still. 
     A member rose with a question 
     "Are we doomed to go downhill?" 
     "I am confident of an upturn", 
     The PM made reply. 
     "If workers pay is held at bay, 
     We'll all be home and dry." 
     "How true, how true", cried the workers. 
     "Let's end this wicked strike. 
     We don't want a rise in wages, 
     They can stick it where they like." 
     "Thank God, Thank God", sobbed the bosses. 
     "There's faith on the factory floor. 
     And now we've got this extra lot 
     We'll give it to the poor." 
     They filled their pockets with money 
     And ran with eager feet 
     Pressing their surplus profits 
     On the people in the street. 
     They moved among the dole queues 
     And boarded every bus 
     With streaming eyes and heartfelt cries 
     "You need it more than us". 
     Soon all the people prospered 
     And the devil became a saint 
     Now the sober unions 
     Had exercised restraint. 
     The cities were filled with singing 
     And the sound of laughter spread 
     As hand took hand in the golden land 
     and pigs flew overhead.

[edit] Title

I disagree with the undiscussed move from "flying pig" to "pigs fly". The phrase "pigs fly" is not a common phrase (the phrase is "when pigs fly"), whereas the concept of a flying pig is broader than just the common phrase and grammatically consistent with other article titles: exploding whale, flying car, talking animal etc. Moreover, when Wikipedians create links, they are more likely to create a link with the form "...flying pig" than "...pigs fly" --Tysto 16:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Pigs are heavy animals"?

"Pigs are heavy animals, without wings, and cannot possibly fly." Really? What genius decided this needed explaining? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce Marlin (talk • contribs) 12:53, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm torn between editing it out or preserving it as one of the choicest examples of The Bleeding Obvious in Wikipedia. I suspect is was written by someone who writes warning labels on product packaging. Rexparry sydney 00:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
