I understand why there's only one pig in Afghanistan, but it still seems pretty amazing. They could have them as pets or something, since they don't eat them. Just an idea.

It doesn't look much like they're racing as it does that they're taking a leisurely stroll down the river.

I think some of those tattoos are pretty ugly. My husband and I both have them, but I think ours are more tasteful, especially when compared to Megan Fox's. Bleh. Although maybe other people would think my husband's and mine aren't very nice at all. I would never tattoo my neck though. Ouch and yuck.
