National Public Radio has been inserting a hoax story into its April 1 news for many years now. The best I recall was a feature piece on 'mouth sounds,' a fellow who could mimic all sorts of things from chickens and horses to steam locomotives and F-16s. Only towards the end, when the sound effects got preposterous and the 'artist' was discussing how hard it was to do stereo did it dawn on me that my leg was being pulled.
