This is very interesting... The Onion is always funny.

But there is a new thriller out recently called Fatal Error, that uses this premise in the plot to take down the internet! (the pig is not the subject, but the theory is the same).

It is part of a series of books, about Jack the Repairman, by
F.Paul Wilson. (sort of fantasy, sciFi, thriller mix).

He must have seen that Onion, or whatever the Onion borrowed the idea from!

Oh, that is so funny.

I just learned that Black cats with yellow or green eyes are Brits!
Called a Bombay.

The copper eyed ones are American... like my Weezie kitten is turning out. (she is in my Avatar).

I have never seen a poly-Black before... He/she is beautiful!

Thanks for the funny clip!

I love The Onion... sigh... I even enjoy their new comedy central sports dome show, and I am not the biggest sports fan!
