CNN reports that a German Web site dubbed Pig Brother has attracted more than a million visitors in under two weeks with its live Webcam coverage of a family of wild boar. Their server must be very resilient.

I watched and listened for a few minutes tonight, which is tomorrow morning in German boar time. I didn’t see any pigs, but I did hear them. At least I think I heard them–part of me suspects that the audio is pre-recorded and played in a loop. It’s probably not, but I’ve played enough video games to have recognize the same atmospheric audio track over and over again. Don’t forget to take a Schnappschuss like I have.
