What will happen when pigs fly

Hi, brinley! Our Wonders are inspired by our Wonder Friends like you! Your Wonder might be selected as a Wonder of the Day! It seems pretty unlikely but we suppose that is the point of the expression. That's good thinking, GoldenStar. In that case, they just need to get their pilot's license. Robotic jet pack which can be controlled by a remote? That might work. It should still fit the "pig flying" definition. We like cookies, Ethan! They are delicious!

Hi, Tyler! We're glad you stopped by Wonderopolis! We hope you tell your classmates about Wonderopolis! What was your favorite part? Thanks for stopping by Wonderopolis! Hi, ufh! Welcome, Trenton!
