The 1957 Swiss Spaghetti Harvest is top of my list too. ;D Amazingly, a few years ago I ran across an Englishwoman who sounded like she really believed it. At first I thought she was pulling my leg but when, dead serious, she said "I know it's true because I've seen in on the telly," I quietly dropped the subject and parted company at the earliest opportunity. Once you discover an oddity of this magnitude, you don't want to probe any deeper, do you?  Anyway, the video itself is available for viewing and downloading from the Beeb itself. Click on 'Play Video' to view and once it starts, right-click on "Launch in stand alone player" to get your download link. news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/april/1/newsid_2819000/2819261.stm A gem like this should be kept on everyone's hard disk. ;D |
