From USAToday, weird news dept 11/3/00:
No more hogging the aisle in flight
When pigs fly, they travel first class but aren't well behaved passengers. On a US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Seattle earlier this month, two passengers used a doctor's note to persuade airline officials to allow them to bring a 250-pound pig aboard, claiming it was a "service animal," akin to a seeing-eye dog. According to passenger accounts, the pig went wild upon landing, trying to enter the cockpit and defecating in the cabin. Now, the Federal Aviation Administration and the airline are investigating the matter, trying to determine whether safety and sanitation rules were violated.
So -- did you have a nice time in Seattle?
