Does anyone have a good April Fool's day gag planned?

It's been a while since some of the big public ones, like Dick Smith towing a huge fake iceberg into Sydney harbour,
or the Channel 7 news showing footage of the "spag worm" destroying crops at the newly established spaghetti farm in the Grampians! ;)

Gotta link? I suspect you're thinking of the one I posted, which was itself based on something the BBC did back in 1957 :D

The Youtube page wrote:The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest hoax generated an enormous response. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this query the BBC diplomatically replied, Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.
