   I always thought hogs were vegetarians, but a guy at work showed me some YouTube videos of wild hogs preying on a baby deer, a baby gazelle, and a baby monkey.
   
   He said mobsters in farm country feed people to hogs to erase all evidence of their murders.
   
   No, there wasn't a YouTube video of that.

         Maybe it is a mid-west thing (also might be related to mob knowledge of the mid-west) but almost everyone I knew also knew this.
