Great Michigan Pizza Funeral
The Great Michigan Pizza Funeral
- ... that in 1973 Michigan governor William Milliken gave the homily at a funeral for 29,188 frozen cheese and mushroom pizzas? The contemporary press reported up to 44,000 pizzas buried but Mark Harvey, a state archivist from the Michigan History Center states "the actual court transcript lists it at 29,188 ... there's at least two different newspapers accounts that governor Milliken was present and gave the homily" from approx 4.00 on the clip from: "Forty-five years ago this small Michigan town had a pizza funeral". Michigan Radio. No. 28 February 2018. Retrieved 3 January 2021.

- Comment: Strikes me as a good April Fools Day hook
Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 19:35, 4 January 2021 (UTC).
Approved for April 1st The article was moved to mainspace today, so is new enough. It is way more than needed in length and it reads neutrally with in-line citations. The hook is interesting and funny, short enough, and has in-line citations with no copyvio issues. The QPQ has also been done already. Everything looks good to go!
