An April Fool's Hoax
by Rick Boxx

April Fools Day pranksters often prey on those who lack knowledge. According to Wikipedia, one of the biggest public hoaxes on April Fools Day happened in 1957.


The BBC did a three minute story with fake videos of farmers harvesting spaghetti from trees in Switzerland. They received many phone calls from people desiring to grow spaghetti trees!

The reason this hoax worked is that spaghetti was not very popular yet in England, so most people lacked the knowledge that spaghetti is made with wheat flour and water.

Proverbs 13:16 teaches, "All who are prudent act with knowledge, but fools expose their folly."

Many hoaxes are perpetrated on people in the workplace who lack knowledge. If someone is urging you to do or buy something you don't understand, gain knowledge before acting.

April 1st was my birthday. I have had 72 years of jokes. I always said, it was the reason for the way I am until I found out that I was an alcoholic/addict.

I am an Aries and I feel like they looked and wrote the book. When I wanted to identify my character defects and good points, I read a couple of Aries books so I could identify, not compare.
