Well, now it's our THIRD ANNUAL APRIL FOOL'S DAY!

Heard this on the NBC Nightly News this evening. Back in the 1950s, the news anchor presented a story with film on how someone had finally grown spaghetti on vines. It was amazing how they had finally developed a strain of plant that grew each strand the exact same length. The film showed some young Italian beauties standing at the tall plants (looked like string bean plants on poles), carefully picking spaghetti from them, strand by strand, and laying them out in their baskets.

Many viewers contacted the station seeking information on how to obtain these wonder plants, only to be told it was an April Fool's joke! It took a very long time for this newsman to re-establish his reputation. Some viewers never forgave him. As Brian Williams commented this evening, the poor fellow was a trusted authority figure of notable stature, "the Walter Cronkite of his day."
