	They'll kill us all! :P

	What, no muslim countries???

	shamrock:	May 1st, 2009 at 16:53 GMT	13 points
	i'll get this quiz down when pigs fly!!!!

	SowCrates:	May 1st, 2009 at 16:54 GMT	59 points
	@ el barto: Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim country. But your point is grasped

	John Lambeth:	May 1st, 2009 at 16:57 GMT	30 points
	serbia and montenegro is no longer one country

	davidr:	May 1st, 2009 at 16:58 GMT	11 points
	@SowCrates (very appropriate name!): There are also about 140 million Muslims in India — the third-largest population in the world after Indonesia and Pakistan.

	davidr:	May 1st, 2009 at 16:59 GMT	34 points
	@John L.: Montenegro only became independent in 2006; the data used in this quiz is from 2004.

	I'm a little bit worried that I got swine flu from completing this quiz.

	shoban, just check at doihaveswineflu.org

	Anyone else try Trinidad and Tobago after the natural gas quiz fiasco the other day?

	Joe_Ball:	May 1st, 2009 at 17:16 GMT	35 points
	@Brian: Most Sporclers follow sarcasm standards, which do not allow oneself to be taken literally. :P Thought for today: if we have to euthanase all the pigs because of swine flu, will we eat Spork instead?

	America:	May 1st, 2009 at 17:17 GMT	11 points
	Not surprised to see Hungary on here. Get it? But wow! Number 1 has 400 million more pigs than number 2!!

	SowCrates:	May 1st, 2009 at 17:26 GMT	2 points
	@ America, #1 has 1 billion more people than #2. The ratio of pig/person is about 1/3 in China compared to about 1/5 in the U.S, so it is pretty interesting. I can't help but wonder if when the pig population is important when calculating it in the U.S. I have to believe that there are more pigs in the US in March, April and May then by the late fall. I know I'll be playing my role in that reduction come the 4th of July

	It would be fun to see the list compared to human population in each country. Then it would be more clear how piggy Denmark is.

	Linz:	May 1st, 2009 at 17:41 GMT	4 points
	I typed in Serbia and it didn't accept it. I remember all that delicious schnitzel in Germany, so I guessed lots of European countries--figured the Moslem countries and Israel were unlikely!

	CHEMisTRY:	May 1st, 2009 at 17:53 GMT	6 points
	@Shamrock - well, swine flu!

	ChanandlerBong:	May 1st, 2009 at 17:55 GMT	10 points
	All the pigs will be cured anyway, so what's the problem? ;)

	ku_sucks:	May 1st, 2009 at 18:03 GMT	18 points
	After playing all the other geography quizzes here, I typed in Denmark and was surprised to see no, "including Greenland". Then I realized how stupid I am, and how I spend way too much time on this site. :)

	Pat Lisner:	May 1st, 2009 at 18:09 GMT	4 points
	@ Linz: Serbia by itself works.

	Sparky:	May 1st, 2009 at 18:21 GMT	5 points
	Wow, had no idea Belgium had so many pigs lol. I knew Denmark were fond of their pork... was slightly surprised that NZ and Aus are not on there. I bet NZ will pwn on a sheep quiz though =D I love that Mexico and Poland have EXACTLY the same number of pigs xD Agree that Serbia and Montenegro are in fact TWO countries, not one.

	@CHEMisTRY: Two drums and a cymbal fall down a mountain...da-dum, ting!

	Jaspers:	May 1st, 2009 at 18:36 GMT	25 points
	I tried "Israel" expecting a bonus answer marked: "Are you kidding?"

	LaStic:	May 1st, 2009 at 18:40 GMT	0 points
	I think Serbia and Montenegro are two countries. Maybe they weren't so in 2004

	Booger:	May 1st, 2009 at 18:43 GMT	6 points
	@lapper220 and others: Serbia and Montenegro was one country in 2004. The quiz takes either by itself for the answer.

	Cuthbert_Twilley:	May 1st, 2009 at 18:50 GMT	12 points
	Denmark is pretty ridiculous. They've got about 2.5 pigs per person.

	beatrixkiddo:	May 1st, 2009 at 19:30 GMT	2 points
	@jaspers - i tried it too, expecting a similar response :)

	ted:	May 1st, 2009 at 19:30 GMT	-1 points
	I was surprised when I typed in Indonesia and it showed up. Do pigs have a non-food function?

	JohnJF:	May 1st, 2009 at 19:58 GMT	14 points
	I tried Israel, not out of sarcasm, but because I got THAT desperate for answers.

	Great timing Sporcle! I love how the quiz is pink, just like a stereotypical pig! @ Chemistry: Someone sent me an e-mail today that said "50 years ago people said an African man would be president when pigs fly. 100 days into Obama's presidency, Swine flu."

	They don't like pork in Australia?

	mininimi:	May 1st, 2009 at 22:08 GMT	3 points
	im sure turkey is excited not to be on here. Take that piglet

	Bretzky:	May 1st, 2009 at 22:38 GMT	2 points
	@America: To add on to what SowCrates said, Chinese also consume more pork per person than Americans do. According to the USDA, it's roughly 40.0 kg to 29.0 kg. Throw in the population difference between China and the US and it's no surprise that China has a lot more pigs than the US. Although, China has a little way to go to catch the EU; the average European consumes 43.9 kg per year.

	Missed Taiwan and Myanmar. Needed more time to find. I've been smiling when I saw there were a 1 per 4 ratio in France ! We've got a whole region devoted for this (don't expect drinking fresh water in there)

	AtomicIce:	May 1st, 2009 at 23:21 GMT	5 points
	I was surprised that Indonesia IS on this list and Australia ISN'T.
