OINK OINK. How many of these inflatable pigs are there? How difficult can it be to find it back. It's not like there is an inflatable pig lost every week, is there?

Crash ;)

Hehe in March 2007, when Waters played in Lima(it was in an open space), the inflatable pig was set completely free (while they were playing "Sheep"), and it exploded about 3km from the concert place....

I know a friend who has a small part of the Algie the pig.. and have seen it myself 8-)

The pig has now been recovered if anyone's interested. :P
