George M. Spencer said...: Every year, pigs (presumably mothers protecting their young) kill 40 people in the U.S. and Canada.

That's six times the number of deaths worldwide that are caused by sharks.

So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like ol' squares in battle like a, you see on a calendar, like the battle of Waterloo. And the idea was, the pig comes to the nearest man and that man, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the pig would go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that pig, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a pig, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye.; 11/29/13, 8:54 AM

Great Thanksgiving story, Ann!; 11/29/13, 12:41 PM

Today their haste seems peculiar if not downright silly. Not so when the movie came out in 1939, however. Many more people lived on farms, or were familiar with farm life, and knew that falling into a pig pen could be extremely dangerous.

* = yet her dress somehow remains spotless.
