More April Fools Day Funnies

For more April Fools Day hoaxes from the math and science geek crowd, hike yourself on over to one of my other blogs: The Soul Calendar - go here.

On that blog I place a lot of articles about the mind, how the brain works, some astronomy (killer eclipse photos) and anything else mildly geeky I enjoy when I read magazines like Discover. Enjoy!

People actually believed this hoax back in 1957 about spaghetti growing on trees (already cooked no less) as spaghetti as food was not well known outside Italy back then. Hard to believe today.

Conversations in homes throughout the world this week:

Hearing in the news that the notoriously unstable and downright weird North Korean government is planning to launch some kind of long-range missiles it gives a person pause to question. No one believes they have peaceful intentions or are for commercial use.

Life Problem: How do you stop North Korea from lauching those missiles on April 4th?

Cheeky Answer: Nuke 'em on April 3rd. That'll teach 'em... Texas style!
