As we have said several times before, practical jokes in Spain have their own day: December 28. This is because it is Innocent Saints Day, which commemorates all those innocent children allegedly ordered killed by Herod, according to the Christian hagiography. Among some of the jokes played in the media yesterday were the following: Ibrahimovich signs for Real Madrid; Michael Schumacher to drive for Ferrari next year; Pep Guardiola launche his own after shave; an obscure blog called Nos Gusta el Vino (We Like Wine) signs up none other than Ferran Adrià (see our perfectly serious article on the chef's heirs taking over London). On a more local level, a press release from San Roque Council nnounced the imposition of a specil tax on households with two or more cars - a note today apologises for any confusion it might have caused. (Prosp note: we forgot all about it! Or hadn't you noticed?)
