Aprils Fools Day - Funny Pranks & Tricks
April Fools Day History : April Fool's Day, is sometimes
called All Fool's Day. The History behind April Fools Day is
vauge to say the least. Some Historians think that April Fools
Day (of sorts) started in France when on April 1, 1582 Charles IX
introduced the Gregorian Calendar and moved New Year's Day to
January 1st. However, news of this was spread slowly (no internet
in those days!) and many of the people did not receive the news
for several years. Therefore, some people celebrated New Years on
April 1st and were called 'fools' by the more educated population
who knew of the calendar change. It is said that Practical Jokes
were often played on these so called April fools. Some deduce
that the tradition of jokes and prank-playing on April 1st started in this
way.
