Miss Cellania's Top 20 Weird News Stories of 2011 - Mental Floss
The Queensland, Australia newspaper The Morning Bulletin covered stories from the recent floods. One livestock farmer was particularly devastated.
Mr Everingham said: "We've lost probably about 30,000 pigs in the floods, we tried to get as many weaners and suckers out by boat, but we could only save about 70 weaners, and the suckers didn't survive long, because they needed that mother's milk, and all the sows have been washed away.
But later the story was corrected.
What Baralaba piggery-owner Sid Everingham actually said was "30 sows and pigs", not "30,000 pigs"
