Piglet Drops 5 Pounds on Juice Cleanse

Looking ahead to bathing suit weather, local piggie Hamlet tried a number of diets in the hopes of shedding those winter pounds.

“He tried Atkins, South Beach. Nothing worked,” says Jeremy Blinn, who goes to the gym with Hamlet on occasion. “Then he found this fruit juice cleanse thing on the Internet. A week of smoothies and he’s like a new man.”

The piglet lost five pounds in the first two weeks, and plans to continue the cleanse through early April.

“It’s not a permanent lifestyle change,” says Blinn. “But it’s a great way to kickstart a healthy metabolism.”

Guinea Pig Closes In on ‘Theory of Everything’

Researcher and guinea pig, Dr. Hopwell Fuzzykins, at the University of California at Irvine, is closing in on a new theory that his colleagues think has a good chance to finally unify the four fundamental interactions of nature: gravity, the strong force, the weak force, and electromagnetism.  The elusive “theory of everything” has stumped physicists for decades.

“It has something to do with loop quantum gravity… or maybe M-theory… I’m not actually sure,” explained Martin Winchecker, associate dean of UC Irvine’s school of theoretical physics.  ”I really don’t understand this stuff.  I’m more of a figure head.  I just know Dr. Fluffykins is really smart and he gets oodles of grant money.”

Three Little Pigs Plan Reunion Tour

It’s been nearly three decades since the Three Little Pigs, Rufus, Terry and Josh, shot to fame after two out of three of their houses were infamously blown down by the Big Bad Wolf.  Now, a spokesperson for the pigs has announced that the trio is planning a worldwide reunion tour, set to kick off later this year in Amsterdam, Netherlands.  

This should come as happy news to the legions of adoring fans who have developed a thriving Three Little Pigs sub-culture on the Internet.  

“I am so happy right now.  This better not be a hoax,” wrote superfan HuffAndPuff37 on the /r/ThreeLittlePigs/ sub-Reddit this afternoon.

The tour will include a two month European leg, followed by a three month swing through North America, before finishing off with stops in Australia in Japan next Spring.  The Big Bad Wolf is reportedly still enjoying his retirement in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and has no plans to join the tour.

Pig Unemployment Holds Steady Even as Economy Improves

Figures released from Pew today indicate that while unemployment is down overall, the needle hasn’t moved for pigs, particularly the young. In fact, unemployment has increased in some piglet communities.

“A lot of piglets came out of school without employable skills,” says Fran Muchnik, career counselor. “Also, they’re super lazy.”
