Odd News: Giant Pig Monument Discovered in Sverdlovsk

The blogosphere has become mesmerized by a rather puzzling monument discovered in the Sverdlovsk region: a giant metal pig monument. The pristine masterpiece — undamaged by vandals, unweathered by the sands of time — bears no inscription or author's signature and sits on the border between the Bogdanovichesky district and the Kamyshlovsky district. It was brought to light by prominent Yekaterinburg lawyer Sergei Kolosovsk, who posted photos on his blog.
