You got the wrong hog, Allan. This'ns for real. Hogzilla was a big
hog killed in Georgia. Go back to snopes and read the last
paragraph about the 11 year old boy and his hog killed at Delta, AL.
His father even set up a special website for the boy and his hog.

Jimmy,
Same hog. Here's more:
Monster Pig?
The Website of the hour is monsterpig.com, which, as of this writing,
is so overloaded with traffic that the site can't be accessed at all.
According to the Associated Press, it tells the story of how
11-year-old Jamison Stone of Alabama bagged a 1,051-pound,
9-foot-long wild hog, which -- "if the claims are accurate," AP says,
hedging its bets -- would make it larger even than the legendary
"Hogzilla," the massive porker felled in Georgia three years ago (and
soon to be the subject of a major motion picture). Though the hunter
who killed Hogzilla claimed the behemoth weighed over 1,000 pounds
and measured 12 feet from snout to tail, National Geographic
investigators conducted a postmortem and determined that it was
actually no more than about 7 1/2 feet long and weighed at most 800
pounds on the hoof. Read more:

Heck, you can believe it if you want to, but I choose not to. Of
course, I'm always skeptical of the internet anymore. Especially
after I found out there really isn't a Santa Claus........maybe :-)
p.s.: Your rain made it to Indiana! Hang in there, Chuck, it might
make to Alabama yet!
Cheers,
Allan
