Conjunctions

• Spaghetti is now commonplace in Great Britain,
  for this has not always been the case. In 1957,
  the British Broadcasting Company aired a
  three-minute story claiming that spaghetti grew
  on trees, as an April Fools Day joke. The film
  showed loopy strands of pasta being harvested
  on a family farm in Switzerland. It was then
  laid out to dry in the sun for several hours, so
  all the moisture evaporated.
• The segment claimed that, apart from an
  especially mild winter, the years spaghetti
  harvest would be a bumper crop. It also
  explained that the uniform length of the
  spaghetti strands was the result of extensive
  breeding by farmers. The films authoritative
  voice made it seem plausible, and many Britons
  were taken in by the prank.
