Farmer's 1,600 Pound Pig ("Norm") May Be World's Largest

HUBBARDSVILLE, N.Y. -- They think it may be the world's biggest pig.

It's a porker named Norm. It stands four-feet high, is seven feet from snout to tail and weighs 1,600 pounds.

Norm lives on Bob Peterson's farm in central New York's Madison County. Peterson, a retired state trooper, named the prodigious pig after the character on "Cheers."

A livestock specialist at Cornell says a normal three-year-old pig tops out at 500 pounds. Being more than three times that, Norm has attracted a lot of human visitors. But Peterson says the big pig will never wind up as bacon. He says Norm has become a mascot, and as long as there's a farm, he's got a place to stay.

5. Why does only have 3 legs? A pig like that you don't eat all at once
Punch line to a great joke.
