A flying or floating pig is one of the symbols associated with the rock band Pink Floyd and often appeared at concerts in the form of a large pig balloon. \nThe original Pink Floyd pig was built in 1976 for the cover of the Animals album and flown for a photoshoot over Battersea Power Station. \nOn the second day of shooting the pig tore itself loose and floated away to be recovered in the evening from Kent. Flights to Heathrow had to be diverted for safety reasons.

Here are the 5 consecutive "ands".\nThe owner of the little pub The Pig and Whistle decided to get the name re-written on the fascia.He called in a sign writer.\nWhen the sign writer was finished the owner of the pub was a little disappointed.He said,\nI think you should have left more room between "Pig" and "And" and "And" and "Whistle".\n\nI saw this at a website I visit every now and then.

Pink Floyd composed no song by the name of "Dark Side of the Moon". You may be alluding to "Brain Damage". Anyhow, my choice would be "The Great Gig in the Sky" from the same album.

It means solid animal waste and it is used to represent anger or as a general common term for stuff. It is also used to replace curse words.

Pink Floyd recently reformed for a couple of live shows in Europe, but didn't actually tour. At the time they split up it was simply over creative differences and roger waters inflated ego. He thinks he's the driving force and creative mastermind and wanted more control over the creative process. These are the reason's why they split. The fact is whenever a really good band splits and continues on after the break-up, the sum of the parts is never as good as the whole. Just compare "The Delicate Sound of Thunder" to The Wall. Compare Roger Waters 1st solo effort "Pros & Cons of Hitch Hiking" or David Gilmour's "About Face". The bottom line is that the fans suffer the loss more than the artists themselves.

Are you analyzing the just the symbolism of the sows head or the entire movie?  I think the movie shows what the basics of human nature are and how we will revert back to them once survival becomes a primary concern.  Nice work on the analysis.

Interesting question!\n\nChristianity is usually symbolized by the fish, although I'm not sure why that would be a better symbol than a lamb.  I think a lamb works best.  The lamb symbolizes Jesus' sacrificial death.\n\nIslam - a well-trained dog that is submissive to its owner.  That is because Islam is about submitting to God, the Creator.  However, it's kind of a bad symbol because some Muslims don't believe in keeping dogs for pets.  So I might have to come up with a different pet which is obedient.\n\nBuddhism - a cow, because it is a vegetarian and so does not harm living beings unnecessarily.  And it gives (milk) without asking for anything in return.  I think the essence of Buddhism is about attaining these types of values, of compassion, altruism, selfless giving, and non-violence.

It represents Asclepius, the greek god of medicine and healing (or health). Hence the snake in the W.H.O logo.
