Best April Fool's Day Joke
The spaghetti tree hoax is a famous 3-minute hoax report broadcast on April Fools' Day 1957 by the BBC current affairs programme Panorama. It told a tale of a family in southern Switzerland harvesting spaghetti from the fictitious spaghetti tree, broadcast at a time when this Italian dish was not widely eaten in the UK and some Britons were unaware that spaghetti is a pasta made from wheat flour and water. Hundreds of viewers phoned into the BBC, either to say the story was not true, or wondering about it, with some even asking how to grow their own spaghetti trees. Decades later CNN called this broadcast "the biggest hoax that any reputable news establishment ever pulled."

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Re: Best April Fool's Day Joke
Wife got me good today. Sometimes for lunch I like to bring some salad, throw a can of tuna on top with some basalmic vinegar. Today for some reason the label was off the can of tuna. When I opened it at work I had to laugh because she had replaced it with cat food.
Trying to come up with a response cuz it is on. I'm thinking simply not saying anything and letting her think I ate it might be a start. =)

Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

A few years ago I told everyone I adopted a whack of birds, and set up my spare room as a bird sanctuary.
