Mechanics
Bugs
The second day of Thankstarving, reporting the pig reverses the display of the "Report" functionality. When indicating that one can choose an item, normal gameplay continues. This is backed up by the lack of a "Take" slot button when the Report text is missing.
This glitch recurs when one reports the first coffin.

Health
Appears to be a mix of hunger and morale, being affected by books, beer, food, sleep, and cigs in varying measure.
