Origins[]
John Moore-Brabazon was the first Englishman to fly a heavier-than-air aircraft while holding a position in Parliament. As a little joke, he stuffed a pig in a waste basket and flew around with it, showing off the adage ‘when pigs fly’.
Effects[]
The waste basket, when flipped upside down, will levitate all typical farm animals. This does not hurt them in any way and they can move through the air like it’s water. The effect lasts only a short time, after which they gently float back to the ground.
