Hmm, I'd assume if there was one Babe he'd be sent to a farm to live out his days, not eaten.
But 48 Babes?
Piglets don't stay as small and cute as Babe for very long. According to IMDb, the movie was filmed from Apr 7, 1994 - Jul 28, 1994. That's 113 days. In that time, a newborn piglet can grow from 2-3 lbs to comparable in size to Farmer Hoggett.

Also, apparently, Earth's time zones cover not 24 hours, but 26.

Indeed! They grow quickly. Grandpa used to put the sows outside of the farrowing building so my cousin and I could play with the baby pigs. They may be little but damn are they loud! And mama would hear them and throw herself against the side of the building in an attempt to get in. People talk about how protective mama bears are - well, mama pigs aren't exactly to be toyed with either.

Most promiscuous countries

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Not to mention that China and India are the least promiscuous although they have the most people.

Mars also has the most badass volcano we know of. (Albeit retired.)

In 1977, an Indian man, Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia, cycled from India to Sweden to reunite with a woman he met during her vacation in India. He bicycled through 8 different countries and spanned a total of 4 months. The couple is still happily married in Sweden.
