Anyone? We have some pretty creative minds here...
Found in the "notions" department of the farmer's co-op,
pig zippers help making those silk-like purses from
sow anatomy. ;-)
And then there is PiG-Ware's PiG-Zip (affectionately known
as "pig-zipper") -- a lossless method used for compressing pork
for transportation. PiG-Zip uses an combination of LaZy-sWine
and Huff&Puffmann compression techniques. Oinky-source code
versions (most written in SNORTAMOUS), including Squeal-Zip and
Zipped-in-a-Blanket, eventually overtook pig-zipper's initial
popularity.
The list of PiG-Zip's developers and oinky-source contributors
includes Babe, Freddy, Gaston, Joséphine, Hen-Wen, Minimus,
Napoleon, Old-Major, Piglet, Snowball, Squealer and Wilbur.
