I read news from about five 'papers'. I don't trust any of them much on April 1 before noon. I trust them slightly less after that.

It is my family tradition to imbed round circles of cloth within the pancakes of April 01.

Sincerely,

It is great fun.

I am reminded of the women harvesting the spaghetti trees, from back in the 70's?

Hard to believe, but the hoax was broadcast on April 1, 1957.

Bruce Springsteen was scheduled to do a concert at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, on April 1.

That morning the O.U. Post published their annual parody issue, The Pest, with a headline that the Springsteen concert had been cancelled.

A crowd of angry students decended on the administration building and the Post had to do some serious appologizing.

Anyone reading the article accompanying the headline, which explained that Springsteen was being replaced by a band called The Lame Excuses, would have known it was meant to be funny.

The cows would probably die of too much moothane in the suits.

The US Air Force has also gotten to the act:
