Talk:Spaghetti tree
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This first sentence seems a bit... grating?
Perhaps not insulting peoples' intelligences would be a better path to walk.

[edit] Other hoax
In the 1970s I remember seeing a television program about famous hoaxes. One was the spaghetti tree hoax and the other was a hoax involving the creation of a fraudulent citizens' organization (in the 1950s?) to promote the covering up of male dogs' hindquarters (and thus improving society's morals) by making them wear underwear. Many American citizens, hearing about this, clamored to join this organization (but were later saddened to find out that they'd "been had"). I have never subsequently been able to find information about the origin or perpetrator(s) of this hoax and am hoping that someone knows something about this. Badagnani 23:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Big thanks for this. I'd been looking for years. You guys are clearly experts on the subject of hoaxes! I see from the bibliography that Alan Abel has written a couple of books about his hoaxes. Badagnani 21:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
