“a reminder to live your dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem!”

A flying pig is a symbol of an impossible event coming to pass.  Possibly the first occurrence of a pig actually "flying" occurred in 1909 when the British aviation pioneer Lord Brabazon made the first live air cargo flight with a pig in a basket tied to a wing-strut of his airplane. Additionally, if enough thrust is applied, any pig is capable of ballistic flight.  John Steinbeck’s Pigasus was used as a personal stamp to symbolize Steinbeck as "earthbound but aspiring.... A lumbering soul but trying to fly...(with)...not enough wingspread but plenty of intention."  

2007 The Year of the Red Fire Pig  - Begins on Feb 18^th, 2007  

The Lunar New Year dates from 2600 BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese zodiac.  Because of cyclical lunar dating, the first day of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February on the Gregorian calendar. 

The reason for the late Lunar New Year in 2007 is because 2006 had an extra lunar month -- double 7th lunar month (Leap Month) which fell on the 7th lunar day of 7th lunar month. 

If you were born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983 or 1995, you were born under the sign of the pig. Like the pig, you are highly regarded for your chivalry and pureness of heart, and you often make friends for life. 

Famous people born in the Year of the Pig include Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Thomas Jefferson, Ernest Hemingway, Alfred Hitchcock, Mahalia Jackson, David Letterman, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

Countries celebrating same Lunar New Year are mainland China , Taiwan , Vietnam , Korea , Singapore , Brunei , Indonesia and Malaysia .
