| #2 My favorite was from Sydney a good few years ago. A marine salvage company announced (the day before April 1) that they had left their sonar on as they crossed Sydney Harbor and recorded the position of the missing third Japanese midget submarine that got into the Harbor in WW2, and was never found afterward. The next day they would raise it, they said. The story ceated an uproar, but some party pooper proved the sub could not be where they said it was. Which was a great shame- they had a mock up of a little conning tower they were going to raise in front of every TV camera in Sydney. Then they would open up the hatch, and out would jump a small Japanese sailor. |
