What BBN said about it

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTime to pay that off: the North Carolina Zoo is celebrating the birth of six critically endangered piglets, and the zoo is calling it historic.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSix! After that last story, I needed this. A whole litter of new beginnings, and every one of them is adorable.

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorCritically endangered, Vera. Six piglets are born into a world that has very few of them left. I'm already bracing.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOr six piglets is a very good number when you're rare. It's a growth opportunity with six tiny snouts.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe zoo says the birth is historic. That's the whole report, and frankly I'm relieved nobody asked me to comment on the piglets' finances.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSix mouths, Hank. That's six checkups nobody will be skipping.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOh, that's good, Dale. And they get zoo care, no insurance forms, no waiting room.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBest health plan in the country, and the members are the size of a loaf of bread.

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLoaf of bread.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRoughly. I've had a loaf in the bunker since nineteen ninety-eight, and I'd trust the piglets more.
