Bomb Sniffing Pigs! | ||
2003-10-03 | ||
Geva Zion, a 26 year old veteran of the I.D.F. K-9 unit has developed an effective system to detect Arab terrorists and bombs. Zion is training wild boars to find mines and bombs. Zion claims that his 2 new pigs Soda and Chaziza can track explosives quicker and better than any dog or electronic detection device, according to Yediot Ahronot, September 30, 03. Will wonders never cease?
Voice of Judea Commentary:I believe Yesha settlements are references to settlements of Messianic Jews, who wouldn’t have talmudic problems handling pigs. They’re considered outside the pale of Orthodox Judaism for their belief in the New Testament, so the reference to "historic chain of events" is understated. I tried to imagine something similar happening here in the US, and got a picture of the Nazis, the KKK, The Black Caucus, NOW, the Christian Coalition, the Rainbow Coalition, NAACP, and MECHA getting together on a stage, holding hands, and agreeing on something. I couldn’t exactly figure out what it was, since my imagination immediately suffered a catastrophic failure just before I caught what it was...

#14 Go Ed Go! All we got is bandwidth. Short version. Pigs eat what humans eat, they are direct and efficient competition. Dat's Pig Hate. Now Pig Love... is harder to 'splain. They taste good, but you gotta have a surplus of stuff they'll eat, which leads to intra-human warfare over the cargo. See? It's easy. |

#13 I've never understood why pigs are considered *more* offensive to Muslims than to, say, Jews. Or Hindus, for that matter. The short version, Mojo, is this: To Muslims and Hindus, it's not just the eating of pork that's offensive, it's ANY contact with a pig, or a pig product. The Sepoy Revolt that hit the Brits unaware was the result of a rumor that the ammunition the Brits were handing out to native troops had been greased with a mixture of pork and sheep fat. Indeed, during the US Army's campaign in the Phillipines, General Pershing dealt with some extremely persistant Muslim rebels by having his troops dig a pit, slaughter some pigs, drain their blood into the pit, toss the dead pigs into the pit, then shoot the rebels and dump THEIR bodies into it. The resulting shock reverberated throughout the Muslim community in the southern Phillipine Islands, and only the most irrational Muslims were willing to attack US troops after that. Why? According to Muslim faith, you can't go to paradise if you've been contaminated by an unclean animal. Even if it wasn't your fault. If there's no time for a Muslim to perform the cleansing rituals, he's damned and doomed. Allah's essentially saying "Tough luck, buddy. Wasn't your fault, but I'm gonna screw you over anyway." This is a VAST over-simplification of a complex subject and the religious laws involved, but a full treatment of it would require a book-length lecture. ^_^ Ed Becerra |

#12 Now if the IDF could only figure out a way to mount an M-60 on it with dual grenade launchers on the sides. I can see the slogans spray painted across the sides like armored vehicles. "Dirty Harry" "Bad Piggy" "Who you calling dirty, punk?" "I'm looking for my son Yassar, have you seen him?" For each kill mark they could paint on turbans! |

#11 It's no fun shooting them in the back. Speak for yourself. |

#10 My only concern is that the terrorists will run away from the 'demonic' pig. It's no fun shooting them in the back. |

#8 I've never understood why pigs are considered *more* offensive to Muslims than to, say, Jews. Or Hindus, for that matter. None of 'em are allowed to eat pork, which leaves more for me I suppose... |

#5 I find the typo in the first paragraph particularly hillarious: "wild bores", sounds like an amorphous group of dissenters, while doing a (Monty Python-esque) " frothing at the mouth and falling over backwards". |

#2 Pigs are smarter than dogs and have better noses. Supposed to be easy to train to. I think I have seem a story on them being used to sniff out bombs and drugs here in the States. |

#1 Best.idea.ever. The terrorists better hope none of their wares go off while the pig is investigating, or no raisins for you! |
