The Eruption of Mount Edgecumbe April Fool's Joke is hilarious [0]. Guy airdrops 70 kerosense-soaked tires to the crater of the volcano and sets them on fire, making everyone think the volcano was going to erupt. Laughed pretty good at this bit in the PB & mayo story [1] too: "And then there was the Great Banana Peel hoax. In 1967, a rumor had swept the nation alleging that bananas could be used to get high. The technique, it was said, was to scrape the inside of a banana peel, boil the residue, dry it out, and then roll it into a joint and smoke it."
