Here are two I heard:

1. BBC noted that the winter asparagus crop in Germany (Winterspargel) would reach record production levels ( a true thing) but that in Switzerland, late frosts and unseasonable weather had hurt the spaghetti crop, causing spaghetti futures to go up 10%

2. On a French website: The European Union budget of translators for all 27 languages of the EU had gotten so big that there would be a referendum on using only two languages, to cut costs and satisfy big and small nations. The two languages were English and Swedish, and of course, the French were up in arms about it.

Got any good ones to add?
