Prosecutors: Pig farmer confessed to 49 killings
Sorry, not what you thought. One does have to wonder about those separated at birth stories though
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americas/01/22/canada.trial.ap/index.html

NEW WESTMINSTER, British Columbia (AP) -- Jurors prepared to watch videotaped interviews in which accused serial killer Robert William Pickton allegedly acknowledges slaying 49 women when his trial resumes Tuesday.

Pickton, 56, has been charged with 26 counts of first-degree murder, accused of killing mostly prostitutes and drug addicts who vanished from a drug-ridden Vancouver neighborhood in the 1990s. He has pleaded not guilty to the first six counts.

As the first day ended, jurors were told that they would observe Pickton talking about his alleged crimes first hand when the trial resumes Tuesday.

2. I'm still waiting for another pig farmer to confess to murder...
...to be specific, the murders of more than three thousand Americans and too many Iraqis to count.

3. except * is not a real pig farmer, he just plays one in his ads. But he
is closer to beingg a real pig farmer than a rancher, or certainly, a CiC.

Can reality get any stranger before we are all dead?

5. GW Bush is not a pig farmer. He's just a pig. As in swine.


With apologies to anyone of the porcine persuasion.

6. Only 49? That pigfarmer from Crawford is responsible for ...
over 3000 U.S. military alone! Oh, different pigfarmer.

Besides, Dubya is a fake pigfarmer anyway -- is only a brush farmer.
