Pig Roasting for Dummies

From New4Jax.com:

Pig + Space Heater = House Fire

POSTED: 3:28 pm EST January 3, 2008

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A man's effort to keep his pig warm during Wednesday night's freeze ended up starting a fire that caused about $50,000 in damages to his St. Johns County home.

Firefighters were called about 10:20 p.m. when a home on Frances Avenue caught on fire. They later learned the homeowner brought his pig onto the porch and put out a space heater to keep it warm.

The pig apparently knocked over the heater, which started the fire, according to St. Johns County Fire-Rescue investigators.

While everyone who lives in the home got out safely, the pig died in the fire.

Which leads me to the question of why they're called "hot dogs" when, in fact, hot dogs are pork.

A few years ago in the projects in Kankakee, a family decided to have a pig roast.

They filled their bath tub with charcoal, lit it, and put the pig in.

Did I mention they were on the 10th floor of a 15 story building?

They were on the 10th floor...the building isn't there anymore...
