Today is “April Fool’s Day.”  Are you ready for some practical jokes?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   In 1957, the BBC aired a fake April 1st news-story reporting a bumper crop of spaghetti plants by Swiss farmers, which included fake footage of peasants pulling fresh spaghetti from the branches of trees.  Hundreds of viewers called in, asking where they could obtain their own spaghetti trees.  April fools, Great Britain!
