BERLIN (AP) — For the first time in 20 years, pigs outnumber people in the state of Lower Saxony, the pig capital of pork-loving Germany. The state farmers' association said Thursday that, as of the end of 2006, the number of swine hit 8.02 million, as good prices led to increased herd numbers.

At the same time, the state's population fell to 7.996 million, after peaking over the 8 million mark in 2004.

The last time there was a preponderance of pigs over people in Lower Saxony, which traditionally has the largest herds in the country, was in 1987. At that time, the number of pigs stood at 7.56 million to 7.16 human residents.

Pffrt, in Holland we have over 20 million pigs versus 17 million people.

Er... so?

I'll bring the sauce. We can show all our European friends the glory of the Kansas City barbeque.

Yea! Time for a big BBQ. :p

5000? That much? And which of the Arran Islands are you referring to?

I really shouldn't read threads like this when I'm hungry. :(

The one off the west coast of scotland. Spent a week there. It wouldn't stop raining! But it does make hilarious consequences when climbing hills.

There are only two solutions to this problem!

1, German women start having a lot more sex and start pumping out babies.

2, People start eating a lot of bacon, ham and pepperoni.

I will selflessly help by offering my sexual services to German women. Then afterward we can drink beer and eat pizza.

Currywurst (“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currywurst”)
I ate so much of that stuff on a recent holiday to Berlin. Dang tasty.

As far as I know sheep outnumber people in Australia. Oh and ants outnumber people in general, by a lot. Ants will take over soon, bow down to them now!

Von der Weser bis zur Elbe, von dem Harz bis an das Meer
Stehen Niedersachsens Söhne eine feste Burg und Wehr.
Fest wie uns're Eichen halten alle Zeit wir stand,
Wenn Stürme brausen über's deutsche Vaterland.
|: Wir sind die Niedersachsen,
Sturmfest und erdverwachsen,
Heil Herzog Widukinds Stamm! :|

Wo fiel'n die röm'schen Schergen? Wo versank die welsche Brut?
In Niedersachsens Bergen, an Niedersachsens Wut!
Wer warf den röm'schen Adler nieder in den Sand?
Wer hielt die Freiheit hoch im deutschen Vaterland?
|: Das war'n die Niedersachsen,
Sturmfest und erdverwachsen,
Heil Herzog Widukinds Stamm! :|

Aus der Väter Blut und Wunden wächst der Söhne Heldenmut.
Niedersachsen soll's bekunden: Für die Freiheit Gut und Blut.
Fest wie uns're Eichen halten allezeit wir stand,
Wenn Stürme brausen über's deutsche Vaterland.
|: So sind die Niedersachsen,
Sturmfest und erdverwachsen,
Heil Herzog Widukinds Stamm! :|

Which is evidence that people are, in fact, smarter than sheep.

2, People start eating a lot of bacon, ham and pepperoni.

I will selflessly help by offering my sexual services to German women. Then afterward we can drink beer and eat PEPPERONI, HAM AND BACON pizza.

Fixed to be more helpful. :D

This German woman will selflessly refer you to someone more, shall we say, needy. :p

We can still eat pizza, though.

THE ANTS WILL CRUSH US AS IF WE WERE ANT... I MEAN, AS IF WE WERE HUMANS!!! :D

Well, they do get along well enough for Saturday night and Sunday dinner...[/joke]

I never made any sheep-shagging insinuations....;)

Todays headlines: Big Bad Wolf is said to be in hiding as pigs amass in numbers for full scale attack.
In other news: Pope wears funny hat, and a study finds that bears do, in fact, shit in the woods.
In sports news: England suck at cricket.

*joins in mighty singing*

Yes, Sir!

You know that ordering a "pepperoni pizza" in Germany will get you a pizza with hot peppers on it, right?

No I didn't. So how do I get a pizza with what I would call pepperoni on it?

On the Isle Of Arran there are 35000 sheep and 5000 people.\

Yea! Roast lamb. :fluffle:

*joins in mighty singing*

Yes, Sir!
Woohoo!

Here are some versions that I myself hadn't heard before:

Hope you enjoy'em and maybe get a chuckle out of'em. :)

(You know I just had to link to Heino in my above post...)

No I didn't. So how do I get a pizza with what I would call pepperoni on it?
You'll need to order Pepperonisalami.

Niedersachsen ftw.

Sounds like North Dakota, only there its nukes, not pigs.

Niedersachsen ftw.
Oh yes!!! You got it absolutely right. Have a cookie! http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/keks.gif

So if I wanted a pizza with hot peppers AND pepperoni, would I say that I want a pepperonisalami und pepperoni pizza?

My German 201 class had to learn all of the Bundesländer, so I've got them all down by heart now. :cool:

Woohoo!

More power to us! ... what?

And yes, I know all of them. Neener, neener, I can tell you which site you have them from! (So yes, Ionce googled it, too, although I don't remember what for anymore).

P.S. The world would be grateful if you could consider un-breaking the page (re: your first post) :]

I'm amazed this has gone on to 3 pages and no-one's made a crack about NZ and it's sheep obsessed peoples.

That would do.

Unbreak the page? It looked fine on my screen... :confused:

[Who else had a broken page /threadjack]

Bah, it looked fine on my screen, too. How could it possibly have broken the page??
SoWiBi... you know how she is. :rolleyes: :p

I'm amazed this has gone on to 3 pages and no-one's made a crack about NZ and it's sheep obsessed peoples.

New Zealand has about 4 million people and about 40 million sheep.

Australia has about 20 million people and 103 million sheep.

Muslims are to blame for this.

Muslims are to blame for this.
And the Jews.
Both parties, with their lack of pig-eating ability, are causing a pig population explosion.
It's only a matter of time before they adapt, evolve and overwhelm us.


I for one welcome our porcine overlords.
