I swear, this could have come from The Onion!

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's only known pig has been locked in a room, away from visitors to Kabul zoo where it normally grazes beside deer and goats, because people are worried it could infect them with the virus popularly known as swine flu.

The pig is a curiosity in Muslim Afghanistan, where pork and pig products are illegal because they are considered irreligious, and has been in quarantine since Sunday after visitors expressed alarm it could spread the new flu strain.

Quarabtines? Is that the Qu'ran way of serving pork on Saltines?

Irreligious? That's a new one for me. I've never heard that term before.

that's good - because we all know pigs are secretly plotting to take over the world. The only safe place is Afghanistan now...
