Are you kidding me. As if we don't already have enough confusion figuring out what to order while in line, now we have two more size to consider.

I'm going to go down to Starbucks and order the Plenta.  I wonder if they'll know what I'm talking about...

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but this is one day that I think we can do without,  IMO
Just a big waste of time and most "pranks" are just that  "pranks"

I really like some of the "pranks" and I think they take some of the pomposity out of our lives.  I am an addict for a good laugh--and when they replayed a BBC 4/1 prank about the spagetti trees and the "harvest" I laughed--I'll remember that pleasant moment everytime I have the opportunity to buy spagetti and will smile.  This world needs more smiles-period.   O0  There are several other pranks I really liked, TOPEKA, etc.  This is good fun.  We need more.

The BBC prank about the spaghetti harvest was an absolute classic.

A little humor a day never hurts!

Two of recent memory that are my favs are from NPR. The did a piece on zip code porting (like porting a cell phone number). The other was about exploding trees in Vermont and the forthcoming maple syrup shortage.
