    This will be political, to a degree.
    Chechnya is pretty much Russia’s de facto Islamic State. Islam and pork don't mix too well.

    There is a long history about using pork lard and beef tallow in bullets from the British in India and what is now Pakistan:
    "The Sepoys in the East India Company were first issued with the Enfield Pattern 1853 rifle-musket in 1857. Its cartridges consisted of a .577-inch ball projectile and a charge of gun powder propellant wrapped in waterproofed cartridge paper. This provided the opportunity for circulating rumors that the paper was sealed with animal grease, either beef tallow or pork lard. Before pouring the powder down the barrel followed by the paper wadding, the cartridge had to be torn open and the drill* for doing so was for the soldier to use his teeth to bite off the sealed end. It offended the religious beliefs of Hindu troops to bite into beef fat or for Muslims to bite into pork lard. These rumors became a matter for incitement and even if beeswax had been used the rumors prevailed. When it was suggested that troops could make up new batches using butter fat (ghee) or vegetable oil, it lent credence to the rumors and added to the grievances inciting the Sepoys to mutiny in 1857."

    Has anyone else noticed the Geeza sheets region on the my pillow commercial resembles a certain part of the female anatomy?

    Well I had to go look. It’s Giza but your spelling worked to find it. And you are right. Never been aroused for a bed sheet commercial. You are more than just a truck driver and cat whisperer.
