Well, reality can be stretched (Vatican having nukes is stretching) but not
broken (pig flying by _themselves_). Personally I don't like either option
but, there's probably a Net Enhancement that allows awakened pigs to fly
and/or the Church to have nukes.

I hate to nitpick here, but that fact _is_ in contention. Personally I
believe very much that magic exists. Not in the way it is portrayed in SR,
but it does exist. I can't say any more than that because A) I don't
practice it (against my religion) so I don't know much more and B) Because I
really don't wanna start a discussion on it.
