Fake news.

Fake news.

nope.

5,500 pigs.

The article doesn't mention pigs at all.

It will be important to find out where the pig waste has ended up.

We already know because that has already been reported. The pig waste went into the floodwaters.

Trump will say it was only 6-10 McNuggets

Chickens can swim, if properly motivated with sufficiently large athletic goods sponsorships. My great grandfather's farm had a chicken named Belle, who swam 500 meter races when sponsored by (and under the influence of) Goodman's Olde Tyme Whisky. Sadly Belle lost her life during an ill conceived raid against encroaching Mormon settlers. At least she was spared the indignity of being eaten, as her captors' distaste for alcohol precluded them from consuming her liquor-infused flesh. The incident indirectly led to the Panic of 1876, as that chicken has powerful financial interests and was a firm believer in Free Silver.

5,500 pigs

Why is it such a perfect even number instead of something like 5,481 pigs?

I lost count and had to guess.

It's hard to estimate pig quantity once the baconization process begins.

She had always wanted to be eaten. But her own prudish religion forbid that behavior.

3.4 million chickens

Did any chicken ranchers pull out their cocks before Florence came?

Nonsense. Like all chickens, Belle was an adherent of Gnosticism. She wished to merge with the Infinite through the emanation of the Aeons, as do all right thinking persons. In her will she left a legacy for the Summum people to build a chicken-sized pyramid, but they never did.

With 3.4 million dead chickens, it's going to be fowl anyway.

When it comes to mourning disaster deaths, chickens aren't high up in the pecking order.

I'd hate to think of the bill.
