Monster pig is hogwash
This just in from the Associated Press.
The 1,000-plus lb. monster "wild" hog an 11-year-old boy killed a few weeks ago in Alabama was actually a domesticated pig named "Fred" that was released onto a hunting plantation just four days before it was shot. As it turns out, Fred was raised from piglet-hood in a nearby neighbor's pen.
This proves a common journalism rule: When a story sounds too good to be true, it usually isn't true.
I wonder what other "too good to be true" stories have made their way into print -- or more likely these days, onto the internet -- that later turn out to be hogwash. Anybody have a good Northwest Florida urban legend story to tell? You may share it here.

Urban Myth Number 1: Police-Shalimar P.D. don't give tickets out beyond the Garniers bridge on south bound Eglin Parkway. That story has circulated for at least 12 years, since I arrived in Ciceley, Ak, ooops I mean FWB, Fl. Partisan
Absolutly. that the Okaloosa County Commissioners actually want to do those projects in the publics' best behalf.
A wild hog? No way sounds more like a dometic politician to me.
There were lots of stories about how the recent legislation was supposed to alleviate the insurance crisis in the state. From what I can tell it made things much worse and they’re deteriorating daily.
I think you need to have a business reporter do a follow up on this and analyze the numbers to see what the true impact from the legislation really is.
It seems that stories about the legislature fixing the insurance crisis were too good to be true and as we’ve seen they weren’t true because nothing was fixed, if anything it’s broke worse now than before they “fixed” it
I suggest that you wash the hog and deliver it to McQuire's along with a copy of the NWFDN. They could then serve it to all and then place the NWFDN in the toilets for further entertainment.
