Use this thread to post suspected April Fools you've found or heard on the web:

Here's my first pick:

Airlines ban foul Swedish Fish
It is a myth, they say, that the tinned fish can explode.

They admit, however, that a punctured tin would emit a foul smell, and that the content might spill quite forcefully, like a punctured can of beer.
 
#1: The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest
spaghetti harvest In 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, and many called up wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti trees. To this question, the BBC diplomatically replied that they should "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."

Thats the top April fools according to this site http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/aprilfool/

HAHA, that's some of the (non-Tom Gleisner) funniest bits of writing I've ever seen.

Note: User A's telepsychic predicted this."
