Each Sunday, I'll take a
break from the material aspects of this blog and spend a little time
looking at the finer points of pigdom. Most people probably appreciate
the ham and bacon side of pigs; little do they know they have a deeper
side as well. We'll start the week with a peek into the favorite quotes
of thoughtful pigs and also learn a pig factoid (pigoid?) in a feature
called Pigipedia.

Back in Colonial times, Wall Street was populated by herds of free-roaming pigs that belonged to New York farmers. Residents of Manhattan wanted to limit their forays, so they erected a long, permanent wall along the northern edge of what is now Lower Manhattan. A street eventually ran along the inside of this wall and was, of course, named Wall Street.
