Happy April fools Day

Here are 20 of the best all time pranks played on the general public!
#1: The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest
1957: The respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."
#2: Sidd Finch
1985: Sports Illustrated published a story about a new rookie pitcher who planned to play for the Mets. His name was Sidd Finch, and he could reportedly throw a baseball at 168 mph with pinpoint accuracy. This was 65 mph faster than the previous record. Surprisingly, Sidd Finch had never even played the game before. Instead, he had mastered the "art of the pitch" in a Tibetan monastery under the guidance of the "great poet-saint Lama Milaraspa." Mets fans celebrated their teams' amazing luck at having found such a gifted player, and Sports Illustrated was flooded with requests for more information. In reality this legendary player only existed in the imagination of the author of the article, George Plimpton.
#3: Instant Color TV
1962: In 1962 there was only one tv channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station's technical expert, Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that, thanks to a new technology, viewers could convert their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their tv screen. Stensson proceeded to demonstrate the process. Thousands of people were taken in. Regular color broadcasts only commenced in Sweden on April 1, 1970.
#4: The Taco Liberty Bell
1996: The Taco Bell Corporation announced it had bought the Liberty Bell and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called the National Historic Park in Philadelphia where the bell was housed to express their anger. Their nerves were only calmed when Taco Bell revealed, a few hours later, that it was all a practical joke. The best line of the day came when White House press secretary Mike McCurry was asked about the sale. Thinking on his feet, he responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold. It would now be known, he said, as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.
#5: San Serriffe
1977: The British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement devoted to San Serriffe, a small republic said to consist of several semi-colon-shaped islands located in the Indian Ocean. A series of articles affectionately described the geography and culture of this obscure nation. Its two main islands were named Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse. Its capital was Bodoni, and its leader was General Pica. The Guardian's phones rang all day as readers sought more information about the idyllic holiday spot. Only a few noticed that everything about the island was named after printer's terminology. The success of this hoax is widely credited with launching the enthusiasm for April Foolery that gripped the British tabloids in subsequent decades.
#6: Nixon for President
1992: National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation program announced that Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again." Accompanying this announcement were audio clips of Nixon delivering his candidacy speech. Listeners responded viscerally to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and outrage. Only during the second half of the show did the host John Hockenberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon's voice was impersonated by comedian Rich Little.
#7: Alabama Changes the Value of Pi
1998: The April 1998 issue of the New Mexicans for Science and Reason newsletter contained an article claiming that the Alabama state legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi from 3.14159 to the 'Biblical value' of 3.0. Soon the article made its way onto the internet, and then it rapidly spread around the world, forwarded by email. It only became apparent how far the article had spread when the Alabama legislature began receiving hundreds of calls from people protesting the legislation. The original article, which was intended as a parody of legislative attempts to circumscribe the teaching of evolution, was written by physicist Mark Boslough.
#8: The Left-Handed Whopper
1998: Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version."
#9: Hotheaded Naked Ice Borers
1995: Discover Magazine reported that the highly respected wildlife biologist Dr. Aprile Pazzo had found a new species in Antarctica: the hotheaded naked ice borer. These fascinating creatures had bony plates on their heads that, fed by numerous blood vessels, could become burning hot, allowing the animals to bore through ice at high speeds. They used this ability to hunt penguins, melting the ice beneath the penguins and causing them to sink downwards into the resulting slush where the hotheads consumed them. After much research, Dr. Pazzo theorized that the hotheads might have been responsible for the mysterious disappearance of noted Antarctic explorer Philippe Poisson in 1837. "To the ice borers, he would have looked like a penguin," the article quoted her as saying. Discover received more mail in response to this article than they had received for any other article in their history.
#10: Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity
1976: The British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur that listeners could experience in their very own homes. The planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth's own gravity. Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment that this planetary alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation. When 9:47 AM arrived, BBC2 began to receive hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation. One woman even reported that she and her eleven friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room.
#11: UFO Lands in London
1989: On March 31, 1989 thousands of motorists driving on the highway outside London looked up in the air to see a glowing flying saucer descending on their city. Many of them pulled to the side of the road to watch the bizarre craft float through the air. The saucer finally landed in a field on the outskirts of London where local residents immediately called the police to warn them of an alien invasion. Soon the police arrived on the scene, and one brave officer approached the craft with his truncheon extended before him. When a door in the craft popped open, and a small, silver-suited figure emerged, the policeman ran in the opposite direction. The saucer turned out to be a hot-air balloon that had been specially built to look like a UFO by Richard Branson, the 36-year-old chairman of Virgin Records. The stunt combined his passion for ballooning with his love of pranks. His plan was to land the craft in London's Hyde Park on April 1. Unfortunately, the wind blew him off course, and he was forced to land a day early in the wrong location.
#12: Flying Penguins
2008: The BBC announced that camera crews filming near the Antarctic for its natural history series Miracles of Evolution had captured footage of Adélie penguins taking to the air. It even offered a video clip of these flying penguins, which became one of the most viewed videos on the internet. Presenter Terry Jones explained that, instead of huddling together to endure the Antarctic winter, these penguins took to the air and flew thousands of miles to the rainforests of South America where they "spend the winter basking in the tropical sun." A follow-up video explained how the BBC created the special effects of the flying penguins.
#13: Kremvax
1984: A message distributed to the members of Usenet (the online messaging community that was one of the first forms the internet took) announced that the Soviet Union was joining Usenet. This generated enormous excitement, since most Usenet members had assumed that cold war security concerns would prevent such a link-up. The message purported to come from Konstantin Chernenko (from the address chernenko@kremvax.UUCP ) who explained that the Soviet Union wanted to join the network in order to "have a means of having an open discussion forum with the American and European people." The message created a flood of responses. Two weeks later its true author, a European man named Piet Beertema, revealed it was a hoax. This is believed to be the first hoax on the internet. Six years later, when Moscow really did link up to the internet, it adopted the domain name 'kremvax' in honor of the hoax.
#14: The Body of Nessie Found 1972:
On March 31 1972, a team of zoologists from Yorkshire's Flamingo Park Zoo, who were at Loch Ness searching for proof of Nessie's existence, found a mysterious carcass floating in the Loch. Initial reports claimed it weighed a ton and a half and was 15 ½ feet long. The zoologists placed the body in a van and began to transport it back to the zoo. However, the police chased down their truck and stopped it under a 1933 act of Parliament prohibiting the removal of "unidentified creatures" from Loch Ness. The body was then taken to nearby Dunfermline for examination. The discovery of the carcass received worldwide media attention. The British press dubbed it "Son of Nessie." But upon examination, Edinburgh scientists identified the creature as a bull elephant seal from the South Atlantic. The next day John Shields, Flamingo Park's education officer, confessed he had been responsible for the body. The bull elephant seal had died the week before at Dudley Zoo. He had shaved off its whiskers, padded its cheeks with stones, and kept it frozen for a week, before dumping it in the Loch and then phoning in a tip to make sure his colleagues found it. He had meant to play an April Fool's prank on his colleagues, but admitted the joke got out of hand when the police chased down their van.
#15: Metric Time1975:
Australia's This Day Tonight news program revealed that the country would soon be converting to "metric time." Under the new system there would be 100 seconds to the minute, 100 minutes to the hour, and 20-hour days. Furthermore, seconds would become millidays, minutes become centidays, and hours become decidays. The report included an interview with Deputy Premier Des Corcoran who praised the new time system. The Adelaide townhall was even shown sporting a new 10-hour metric clock face. The thumbnail (found at TelevisionAU.com) shows TDT Adelaide reporter Nigel Starck posing with a smaller metric clock. TDT received numerous calls from viewers who fell for the hoax. One frustrated viewer wanted to know how he could convert his newly purchased digital clock to metric time.
#16: The Eruption of Mount Edgecumbe
1974: Residents of Sitka, Alaska were alarmed when the long-dormant volcano neighboring them, Mount Edgecumbe, suddenly began to belch out billows of black smoke. People spilled out of their homes onto the streets to gaze up at the volcano, terrified that it was active again and might soon erupt. Luckily it turned out that man, not nature, was responsible for the smoke. A local practical joker named Porky Bickar had flown hundreds of old tires into the volcano's crater and then lit them on fire, all in a (successful) attempt to fool the city dwellers into believing that the volcano was stirring to life. According to local legend, when Mount St. Helens erupted six years later, a Sitka resident wrote to Bickar to tell him, "This time you've gone too far
#17: The Case of the Interfering Brassieres1982:
The Daily Mail reported that a local manufacturer had sold 10,000 "rogue bras" that were causing a unique and unprecedented problem, not to the wearers but to the public at large. Apparently the support wire in these bras had been made out of a kind of copper originally designed for use in fire alarms. When this copper came into contact with nylon and body heat, it produced static electricity which, in turn, was interfering with local television and radio broadcasts. The chief engineer of British Telecom, upon reading the article, immediately ordered that all his female laboratory employees disclose what type of bra they were wearing.
#18: Man Flies By Own Lung Power
1934: In April 1934 many American newspapers, including The New York Times, printed a photograph of a man flying through the air by means of a device powered only by the breath from his lungs. Accompanying articles excitedly described this miraculous new invention. The man, identified as German pilot Erich Kocher, blew into a box on his chest. This activated rotors that created a powerful suction effect, lifting him aloft. Skis on his feet served as landing gear, and a tail fin allowed him to steer. What the American papers didn't realize was that the "lung-power motor" was a joke. The photo had first appeared in the April Fool's Day edition of the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung. It made its way to America thanks to Hearst's International News Photo agency which not only fell for the hoax but also distributed it to all its U.S. subscribers. In the original Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung article, the pilot's name was spelled "Erich Koycher," which was a pun on the German word "keuchen," meaning to puff or wheeze.
#19: The Sydney Iceberg
1978: A barge appeared in Sydney Harbor towing a giant iceberg. Sydneysiders were expecting it. Dick Smith, a local adventurer and millionaire businessman (owner of Dick Smith's Foods), had been loudly promoting his scheme to tow an iceberg from Antarctica for quite some time. Now he had apparently succeeded. He said that he was going to carve the berg into small ice cubes, which he would sell to the public for ten cents each. These well-traveled cubes, fresh from the pure waters of Antarctica, were promised to improve the flavor of any drink they cooled. Slowly the iceberg made its way into the harbor. Local radio stations provided excited blow-by-blow coverage of the scene. Only when the berg was well into the harbor was its secret revealed. It started to rain, and the firefighting foam and shaving cream that the berg was really made of washed away, uncovering the white plastic sheets beneath.
#20: The 26-Day Marathon
1981: The Daily Mail ran a story about an unfortunate Japanese long-distance runner, Kimo Nakajimi, who had entered the London Marathon but, on account of a translation error, thought that he had to run for 26 days, not 26 miles. Reportedly Nakajimi was now somewhere out on the roads of England, still running, determined to finish the race. Various people had spotted him, though they were unable to flag him down. The translation error was attributed to Timothy Bryant, an import director, who said, "I translated the rules and sent them off to him. But I have only been learning Japanese for two years, and I must have made a mistake. He seems to be taking this marathon to be something like the very long races they have over there."

Hello Everyone
Posted by: "Jay" bareshark1975@yahoo.com bareshark1975
Fri Apr 1, 2011 11:22 am (PDT)
My name is Jay. As far back as I can remember, I never fit with the Southern Baptist version of Christianity that has been a part of my family. I'm just now coming to grips with the fact that it was the Goddess that I ultimately worship. Being in a Southern town, only a few of the people around me (none of them blood family) know about that fact.
I'm working on establishing an online Tarot consultancy. It has to be online because that is the only way I can legally do business while I live here. There is a Title 11 ordinance dating back to 1973 which forbids fortunetelling for profit within the city limits. Why do I stay? My 90 year old grandmother, who lives a few blocks from where I am now. I am the closest relative who is still around (which has its own hazards, but I'll refrain from that at this time).
My single biggest problem is a lack of a community I can talk to about being a Pagan. There are a few around my area, but only one (my housemate) I have regular contact with. I joined this group in the hope (vain or otherwise) that I could find someone I can talk about these things. No masks, no evasions, no leaving out details in the fear of being exposed.
If this seems a little whiny and/or self-indulgent, I apologize. But honesty first, I say. Thank you all for listening!
Jay

I to know how you feel. Being my husband from India I am surrounded by
Muslim Indians. My husband and a select few know of my being pagan. But they
don't condone it. The most I am allowed to do is use my pendulum to solve
which kid did what mess in my home. He does not like it because I am rarely
wrong. I have prevented bad situations for him so he knows to believe me.
But that is all I can show up front. I joined this group for the same
reason. A place to fit in. I personally believe in one god and the goddess
is an angle and I may be the only one to see it this way. But I feel that
every one regardless of what they believe should be allowed to have a place
they can feel free. And 13Witches is a great place to do that.
Here you can learn so much and be who you are and no one here will judge you
for it!
Welcome to the group!

MM Jay,
You'll find that lots of members here have the problem of either
geographical isolation from other witches (as in my own case), and/or
problems with family or others close to them due to religious conflict. So
you're not alone, don't worry! You'll find lots of friendly people and
things to talk about in this group.
BB,
Miki

Hi Jay and welcome,
Not whiny at all, it's a very typical story - no one that shares my my beliefs lives in the neighborhood.......... ......... .
There are many on this group who have the same problem.

Dear Stefan,
I am VERY interested. I have been doing Tarot readings for quite some time now. Most of them are through a Tarot Trade group here on Yahoo!, though I have done a few professional reads recently (out of sheer necessity; I am currently unemployed and I needed to keep the lights on at my house). I am willing to learn more through practice. Thanks for the invite!

About April Fool's Day
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Fri Apr 1, 2011 2:55 pm (PDT)
RANDOM TIDBITS
Ancient cultures, including those of the Romans and Hindus,
celebrated New Year's Day on or around April 1. It closely
follows the vernal equinox (March 20th or March 21st.) In
medieval times, much of Europe celebrated March 25, the
Feast of Annunciation, as the beginning of the new year.
***
In 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII ordered for the new
Gregorian calendar to replace the old Julian calendar, New
Year's Day was shifted to Jan 1. According to a popular
explanation, many people either refused to accept the new
date, or did not learn about it, and continued to celebrate
New Year's Day on April 1. Other people began to make fun
of these traditionalists, sending them on "fool's errands"
or trying to trick them into believing something false.
***
Another explanation of the origins of April Fools' Day was
provided by Joseph Boskin, a professor of history at Boston
University. He explained that the practice began during the
reign of Constantine, when a group of court jesters and
fools told the Roman emperor that they could do a better
job of running the empire. Constantine, amused, allowed a
jester named Kugel to be king for one day. Kugel passed an
edict calling for absurdity on that day, and the custom
became an annual event.

Daily Feng Shui Tip
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Fri Apr 1, 2011 2:57 pm (PDT)
Daily Feng Shui Tip by Ellen Whitehurst for Friday, April 1
No fooling, superstition says that any pranks you're going to play today need to done before the clock strikes noon. It's also believed that any practical joking going on after noon can possibly have the prankster finding out that the joke's on them, since perpetrating pranks after this hour is believed to bestow some mighty bad luck. It's said that parents and teachers who were looking for a break from all that April foolin' started this stipulation. Feng Shui teaches that there are optimum times to perform important tasks, even if they involve whoopee cushions! Anytime you decide to perform a ritual or ceremony of any sort, or if you have to schedule an important appointment, try to do so between the Feng Shui auspicious hours of eleven to one, day or night. These are the hours most filled with fortune and luck. And on this particular day, quite possibly a hand buzzer, too!
Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde

Bad dream, child, Madison, white pills with a cross on top
Posted by: "Westlin" westlinwind1957@yahoo.com westlinwind1957
Fri Apr 1, 2011 9:07 pm (PDT)
For most of my life (whether I tell anyone or not) I have had dreams...dreams that are about disaster and dying. Not me, other people. They sometimes come true. not always, sometimes are a warning about something else bad, sometimesd just a nightmare but...
I just had a dream...about a little child, blond (a boy I thought but), anyway, it started out at just a regular house, then it became a big place where a gathering was taking place, like a family gathering of some sort. Without all the details...anyway, a little child (blond) was asleep and I woke the child up and he/she was really groggy and I said something about why so sleepy and the kid answered that he/she took sleeping pills to "kill myself." The ambulance was called, 2 came, the child was better for a minute, then all of a sudden making horrible gasping, trying to breath sounds and face was getting dark and rushing the child to the ambulance and I was calling out over and over, Madison, Madison. I don't have a Madison. I work up from the dream with my heart beating so fast I could hardly catch my breath, I had trouble talking, I was crying and stumbled around the house looking to see if things were okay. I called my daughter to check on my grandson, 2 year old blonde, at 11 pm, I checked on my son. I don't know, but ..sometimes they happen. I'm still having trouble stopping crying. I know I sound crazy, but I used to dream about my ex's grandmother after she died, several times. My daughter dreamed about her too and didn't know who it was she was dreaming about until one day her father showed her a picture of her and that's who she had dreamed about--she recognized her. She my daughter) wasn't even conceived when she died! My dream tonight--started in a house I was regretting leaving, had sold it to move to another, there was a group of boys (little boys) next door cutting up, picking on the littlest boy. A yellow stripey cat who hissed and growled, a devil cat, not normal, scary evil cat--that is what kept me outside while the baby was asleep in the house. Then the baby was asleep with a sheet wrapped over it's head completely--I had to pull it off, the sheet was tucked around its head pretty good. Also, the pill (lots of pills in the house, like a grandmamma's) --the pills were white, round, with a cross on them.
I hope this dream didn't mean anything, I hope it was just a nightmare but it has hit me really rough---I haven't been like this after a dream in a long, long, long time. The reason I put all that in the title is so if this applies to someonen on here, it might catch their eye with the title. If it wasn't anything, no harm done, you know.
