Global MuseumOn April 1, 1957, the BBC’s Panorama fooled 8 million viewers with a 3-minute prank about a ‘Swiss spaghetti harvest,’ narrated by Richard Dimbleby.

I do try to laugh at it. So when the tears go down my face you dont know if its because of the laughter or the legit crying. Maybe both. On the brightside, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spring</a> has come and me and the dog will play fetch in the park. Maybe I'll take my daughter with me. Depends on how tired she is.
