Pigs on the wing. Literally!
For those of you who care, Pink Floyd's giant two storey tall Piggie has returned home, though not safe and sound.
Roger Waters of Pink Floyd has been using this giant inflatable pig in his concerts as a prop since their success of the album Animals in 1977. Last Sunday in a concert in southern California, the pig broke free from the tethers. Organizers had announced a reward of $10,000 to anyone who brings the pig back. And today the news is out that a couple from a desert town in California has found the pig and returned. Though it is in tatters, finally it is home!
This Pig really had wings it seems :D
[P.S. - Pigs on the wing is a song from the album Animals.]

Why on earth are Pink Floyd mesmerized by pigs?
The answer lies in the album 'Animals' which was influenced by George Orwell's novel 'Animal Farm'. And in that book ,pigs are the central characters.
