Translations removed
So it has been said that St. Anthony’s favorite swine could speak, even when other groveling pigs could only squeak. Unfortunately, from today, the only ‘foreign’ translations available here will be our pig-Latinized ‘lorem ipsum’ — “Oremlay ipsumyay olorday itsay ametyay, onsectetuercay adipiscingyay elityay.”. The translation service from the WordPress plugin, Global Translator, has been terminated.

Vitruvian Swine and Flying Pigs – Redux
The image of the Vitruvian Swine idled in my imagination for several years before it debuted on Porkopolis.org. I have since discovered that many other folk have independently arrived at a similar conception of da Vinci and the swine.
