Originally posted by OwlHootNo more than any other meat or fish. The real reason was that no pig could survive in most parts of the hot deforested environment of the Middle East, aside from a few marshy areas on the red sea coast (where arabs happily breed and eat pigs to this day). Thus eating pork would require (in effect) importing the meat - it's what's called making virtue out of necessity.Life is just nature's way of keeping meat fresh

If you could get a normal pink pig (and not one of those pot bellied ones) and it could stay at piglet size, I'd have one as a pet anyday over a cat or a dog. As a kid we used to keep pigs and they are intelligent, clean and affectionate animals and when you get bored of them you can slice them up really thin and shove them on a butty with a bit of red sauce. mmmmmmmmmmmm!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

I would imagine the rule only permitting washing in running water came from the same sensible precautions thus avoiding areas of still water and malaria-carrying mosquitos.
