Now if only I had an MPig3 player…
On the way back from a conference in Italy this spring, at the Rome airport trying to find a way to spend my copious quantities of Euro coins that the change bureau wouldn’t accept, I was poking around in one of those eclectic-housewares type of shops when something caught my eye: Pigs! Little pink pigs. Get this: as headphones. Good-quality, outside-world-blocking in-ear buds, to be precise. Of course I had to buy a pair. Check ‘em out:

That’s right, these pigs go in one ear and out the other. Are they two pigs, or one really long pig? That’s really up to you. These piggies come from a French company called La Chaise Longue — search for “ecouteur cochon” — but I think you can probably find them closer to home, too.
