Penguins can fly! Only it’s just through water. Spent hours leaning over the railings of a a boat once watching some king penguins “flying” through the water. Truly a gorgeous sight.

While amazed by the quality of this clip (which had escaped you for 17 days?! An eternity on the web …), it’s also scary: The blending of real footage and CGI is done so brilliantly that from now on one can’t believe in hi-res video footage as proof for anything …

… covered the spaghetti harvest in Italy

Actually, it was about the bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland.

Aww, Terry Jones is by far my favorite Python (don’t get me wrong, all are hilarious). Good one Terry

The Beeb do some good April Fool gags. One of my favourites, many years ago, was perpetrated by the Panorama programme.

This rather stuffy political news programme, presented by the extremely serious Richard Dimbleby, covered the spaghetti harvest in Italy, showing the young ladies collecting the long strands of spaghetti dangling from the branches of an orchard of spaghetti trees.

An awful lot of people fell for that one! LOL!

They probably would have ruined the gag if they’d ponded the air-speed velocity of the penguins (ladened or not). But admit it, you were all wondering!

Why can’t American media be more like the BBC?
