More silly stuff!

Here's your (not so) totally useless fact of the day:

Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?

Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense orange clay
called 'pygg'. When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became
known as 'pygg banks.' When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made
a bank that resembled a pig and it caught on.
