Sausage of the North
When British sausage-maker Heck announced that it was going to construct a gigantic sausage statue as tall as Big Ben alongside the A1(M) motorway in England, most people assumed they were joking. Especially since they made the announcement on the day before April Fool's Day. But it turns out, they weren't joking and appear to be proceeding with plans to build the "Sausage of the North."More Info: Northern Echo
