It's April Fools' Day, the first day of April. In the morning we could play silly jokes on one another. But now, perhaps, it's not a good time to do that - in the middle of a great global sickness. However, we can look back to past times. There are several funny tricks that will amuse us. In 1957 there was a report on BBC news - about a harvest in Switzerland of spaghetti growing in special trees. In 1974 there was cloud of black smoke coming from a volcano in Alaska - a mountain dormant for 400 years. People were troubled - but it was a  huge heap of tyres burning in the crater. In 1978 Dick Smith towed an "iceberg" from the Antarctic into Sydney Harbour. People wanted to buy ice for their drinks - but it was fake.
