14 JUN 2007
A mobile text messaging company recently published an advertisement for a Chinese Zodiac fortunetelling SMS service, in which they replaced the pig, the twelfth animal of the zodiac with a kitten.

When asked the reason for the kitten/pig switch, the person in charge of the advertisement said it was because the ad was targeted at the Malay market and the company wanted to be sensitive to Muslim readers.

BUFFALO GRILL WON'T YA COME OUT TONIGHT

Laurie's Cooking Tip:"Low and Slow is the Way to Go!"
Buffalo meat is lower in fat than beef; therefore, it cooks faster than beef and can become dry if over cooked. That's why it's important to always remember "Low and slow is the way to go!" As a general rule, buffalo should be cooked about 50 degrees lower than beef, but for the same amount of time. Also, buffalo meat is best when cooked from rare to medium. Never cook directly in a flame. The Buffalo Guys Buffalo Meat can be substituted in ANY recipe that calls for beef. You'll love cooking with our buffalo meat and you'll love the taste!
Happy Cooking!

These mini-pigs are sold in pairs where possible so they have company at night.British TV presenter, Jonathon Ross, is reported to have purchased two of the pigs for US $300.Murray emphasised the importance of keeping these pigs fit and not fat like all other pets.
