It's a waste of time, and annoys the pig.

Um, are you sure about that, several scientific studies show that pigs (and a lot of other domestic ated animals) are happier when there is music in their homes. A lot of animal research stations are always playing music for their mice and rats, making them _much_ friendlier to work with. Although music with a lot of beats in it does tend scare them. -- PS
I never said that pigs don't like music. Heck, my mother-in-law likes music, and she can't sing to save her life. Anyway, it was meant metaphorically. I added it to the Wiki to remind me that there are some arguments one simply shouldn't get involved in. -- WHD
Ah, like the recent copyright and control rage -- AK
Um, yes, mothers-in-law singing... Now you've presented me with a truly scary picture. And some even dare to put their stuff on CDs and sell it. <shudder> -- PS
I prefer: Never wrestle with a pig,� you both get dirty and the pig likes it!
That's the problem: there's the a pig who can't learn to sing and is expressing honest annoyance about your attempts and then there's the pig who could learn to sing but who simply enjoys being, well, a pig. On the 'net, it's often difficult to tell which kind you're dealing with.
That is to say, "Never wrestle with a troll, you both get dirty and the troll likes it." -- WHD
