Best Daily Difficulties in the UK in the UK

One of the first known madhouses for April in the UK happened on April 1, 1698, when several people went to the Tower of London to see the “washing of lions” in the ditch.

This joke was known for many years afterwards, and in the mid-19th century, a group of jokers printed official cards promising to enter the annual, yet non-existent lion-washing ceremony and distributed them around London on April 1st.

Harvesting Swiss Spaghetti

In 1957, the BBC’s Panorama News reported that, due to the mild winter and the removal of “zigzag spaghetti”, farmers in Switzerland enjoyed a successful spaghetti crop.

Footage of Swiss farmers being pulled pulling spaghetti threads from trees was shown, and an incredible amount of viewers believed this trick, with many calling the BBC asking how they could grow their spaghetti tree.

The BBC told viewers to “put a spaghetti twig in a can of tomato sauce and hope for the best.” The BBC’s CEO even dropped the trick, looking at the encyclopedia to find out if this was actually spaghetti cultivated.

On April 1, 1976, British astronomer Patrick Moore announced during an early-morning interview on BBC Radio 2 that, at 9:47 the same day, an astronomical once-in-a-lifetime event would occur.

It is that the planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, and this would disrupt and diminish Earth’s own gravity very briefly. Moore told listeners that if they jumped into the air at exactly 9.47am, they would be able to fly in a very short time. Many listeners fell for this and called to say that they actually felt this floating feeling.

In 1989, on March 31, the then 36-year-old president of Virgin Records, Richard Branson, flew a hot air balloon that was specifically designed to resemble a UFO.

Hundreds of motorists taking the freeway outside London looked to see what they thought was a glowing flying saucer descending on London, many of them drawn to watch this incredible event.

When a “flying saucer” landed in a field on the outskirts of London, locals called police to inform them of the alien invasion. The officer approached the ‘spaceship’ with his baton in his hand, but ran in the opposite direction when the ‘UFO’ door opened and a silver figure came out.

It is believed that Branson’s original plan was to land the ship at London’s Hyde Park on April 1, but when the wind blew it, of course, he had to land the balloon the day before and into the wrong place.

On April 1, 2002, Tesco’s supermarket chain ran an ad in The Sun and announced that they had successfully developed a new, genetically modified ‘carrot whistle’.

This ad states that carrots are specifically designed to grow with “air holes” on the side that, when fully cooked, cause these “air holes” to make carrots emitting a decibel signal equivalent to the drill noise level, indicating that they are fully cooked.
