    -5 dumbest joke ever. Way to try the karma whoring out though, I really think with a few more explanation points you'd be +5 for sure. Next time try combining the two points of your idiotic statement/joke into one. ie.

    1. Worldwide, more than one billion pigs are killed each year for food.

    2. Pigs are some of the most intelligent creatures on our planet.

    3. The vast majority of pig deaths are unnecessary. Most people who eat pork products have easy access to non-meat foods.

    Why do people kill so many pigs? Natural cruelty?

    Please. Stop with the funny stuff. The technology is not really based off of smoke, or EMP. The technology was built in the 60's by an imp, 2 hobbitses and an ent. All of them worked together, as one unit. They saved the day.

    Don't believe me? My password is 111111 . So just check for yourself. Those hobbitses won't get my precious!
