Covering my ears, la, la, la, if I can't hear anything no one can pull a prank on me. Ah, if only that were true. Apparently the BBC is a legendary 04/01 prank-puller. In 1957 they aired a recording of the spaghetti harvest in Switzerland. No, they actually showed footage of the Swiss pasta-pickers gathering carbs. Why Switzerland? A Mystery. In 1965 they told the viewing public that Smell O'Vision broadcasting was on the way. Was that a promise or a threat? Just a joke! In non-BBC related news, several wacky folks in Melbourne Australia put cling wrap around innocent people's cars in 2009. Well, it was Australia. Could have been worse.Source: Geelong Advertiser; 04/02/2009, p14-14, 1 via EBSCOHost
