Buried treasure ... Charlie with the Staff
it was found on Sunday by digger driver Charlie Kingston as he dug a 20ft-deep trench on a site in east London, the exact location has been kept secret to stop 'treasure-hunters' and onlookers flocking to the area, Mr Kingston said: "I was tipping out some earth when one of my mates Archie Tan shouted to stop, and pointed at the bucket, "It's not unusual to find bodies or human remains so I thought that's what he'd seen in there, "When we scraped off the mud, we thought it might just be a beaten-up walking stick, "We're amazed at what they are saying it could turn out to be." the builders and their bosses could now be in for a huge windfall, with experts confident other relic could also be hiding beneath the soil, however, a comprehensive archaeological dig could take months, if not years, to complete so it may be some time before they see any financial reward.
site for wide eyes ... historians can't believe what has been found in east London
Gobsmacked historian Dr Henry Jones told The Sun that might well run into millions of pounds if the Staff is sold at auction, he added: "If this is the Staff of Moses, it is of unimaginable importance, my assistant April first told me about it yesterday, and since then the news has shocked everyone involved in the study of history, "I am counting the minutes until it is authenticated, so I can get to see it for myself." but his rival German counterpart Magnus Völler was more dismissive calling Dr Jones and his assistant "fools" for believing the Staff was real, He is having the artifact flown direct to his laboratory in the state of Indiana in America, where he promises to uncover "the truth".

the best April Fools joke of all time is this one,
#1: The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest1957: The respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."
if you want to see the best 100 go here, April Fool! hope you enjoyed it!
