Granted, both ravens and pigs are non-kosher animals, but pigs are singled out as being particularly unclean (not just regular unclean, but filthy). Would it have made a difference to Elijah? Would he have refused to eat from the swine, but accepted food from a raven? Also, what would the other Jews think of him had he been fed by pigs instead of ravens? Would he still be THE prophet?
I have no answers...just thinking out loud.

My only question is where did you find the picture for this post? haha.
ahh...seeing as "googled it" is less embarassing, we'll just go with that answer.
i'm thinking the search query looked something like this: "cute little pink piglet"
it would've been even more cute with a real mouse instead of an electronic mouse.
Real mice = not cute.

*sigh* mr. biologist...let me tell you the story of Sparky.
**cue slow violin music**
Our 7th grade class had a pet mouse throughout the year. Cute little grey thing with one ear smaller than the other. It would always run around in its mouse wheel. By the time June came around, I adopted Sparky to avoid mouse-neglect over the summer.
We had Sparky for a few more years before it started getting sick. Then one day, the little mouse wheel stopped turning. The funeral was a simple affair. There were some words spoken before the mouse was buried in the time capsule.
**moment of silence**
yes, mr. biologist, mice are definitely cute.
