I think the CNN video says they're house trained. They're very smart animals. I'd love to see my dog's reaction to me bringing home a new pet pig. That would be funny.

I thought pigs were clean animals...at least that's what I've heard. Can they really smell as bad as dogs sometimes do?

Joanna, I think that's a great idea. Can you house-train the piggies to do their business outside?

This infrared keyboard is so James Bond-esque that it makes my tech "wish list" this year.

You can carry it in your purse or pocket, set it up on any flat surface, and type away.

It interacts with a Blutooth PDA, so you can travel light.

Of course, people may look at you funny as you type away on your "imaginary keyboard" at a coffee shop or the library.
