April FoolIt appears that most newspapers print a startling story on April 1st, have you ever been caught out by their joke? Today's treat in our local paper stated that there was a plan to build a 200 ft high statue of Long John Silver, costing £10 million, in Bristol's Docks!  It even had his raised leg resting on top of the art gallery. It was about an hour before I twigged what day it was! http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/news/...l/article.html Have you any April 1st gems to share with us?

Alas, no. the Washington Post is far too stuffy to do a fun thing like that! n\Wasn't the famous "spaghetti trees in Italy" an April Fool hoax? |

Good thread Mags! Love the Long John Silver Fool! I had a good humoured email this morning from Swinton's the insurance brokers entitled "Angie the aliens are out there. Get covered with Swinton." Unfortunately, I can't copy the email, which was well worded ..... extract: "In February, the Ministry of Defence released files detailing hundreds of UFO sightings across the UK. In response, Swinton have created Extra Terrestrial Encounters Protection." There was a video of an MOD spokesman! You were invited to click on a link to find out more ..... http://f.chtah.com/i/27/1408132753/ET_insurance.html I really like this sort of humour! It was just the sort of thing that I might expect insurance companies to be touting, but it was an April Fool!!! Unfortunately I can't respond to Swinton's email, otherwise I'd just let them know that I appreciated it! |

Well spotted with the date there Mags! Here is a YouTube vid of the Panorama film about the spaghetti harvest. It was made in 1957 I think. I love YouTube for saving this little jem! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27ugSKW4-QQ |
