The famous Panorama report with Richard Dimbleby, which showed women picking
newly 'grown' spaghetti off 'spaghetti trees'. I still buckle up in laughter
everytime I see that broadcast. It was one of the all time great April fool
spoofs.
As to the Sans Seriffe article - bloody brilliant. I haven't laughed as much
in ages. A classic.
