The Vox Box

Road-smart Pigs

A farmer living in Taiwan stumbled across a dozen piglets several months ago, and has kept them and trained them.
The pigs, all less than a year old, fall into line whenever Lee Tung-cheng lets them out of his rural Pingtung county yard and starts up his scooter. They go out together almost every day and know the rules of the road, he told Reuters on Wednesday.
Supposedly they all behave rather well and are highly intelligent.

All I can say is... weird.

What's the weirdest animal you've ever had as a pet? What's the weirdest thing you've ever trained one of your pets to do?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
