1st April is a day to be careful, or you could easily get tricked

by someone. It’s April fool’s Day, a day when people

traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone el and laugh

at them.

There are lots of theories surrounding the origins of the day,

but one explanation is connected with the change in the calendar

in the 16th century, which meant that 1st April was no longer the

beginning of the year. Tho who still celebrated the New Year

on 1st April were called fools.

So what kind of pranks do people play on April fool’s Day?

Well, there are lots of simple tricks that you can play on your

friends. For example, you could wear a black sweater and pull a

piece of white thread through it, so that people try to pull it off.

You could change the time on someone’s alarm clock so that

they’re late for work. Or glue a coin to the floor and e how

many people try to pick it up.

All the are small-scale practical jokes which you might play

on one other person or a few people. But there’s also a tradition

of large companies attempting to fool a lot of people. For

example a burger restaurant once claimed that they were

introducing a left-handed burger!

In particular, the media often try to make people believe

something which is not true. Newspapers publish some ludicrous

stories every year, although some of them are actually true. It’s

entertaining to try to guess which stories are true and which are

fake. In the April Fool’s stories, they often include a clue to the

fact that it’s a joke. For example the name of an ‘expert’

quoted in the article might be an anagram of ‘April Fool’.

Radio and television programmes have also fooled many

people by broadcasting reports which are untrue. One

programme announced the invention of an amazing new weight-

loss product - water which contained minus calories!

And one of the most famous hoaxes ever was broadcast by

the BBC itlf in 1957! A very rious news programme called

Panorama reported on the poor spaghetti harvest in Switzerland,

and showed pictures of farmers picking spaghetti from trees!

Hundreds of people were taken in and wrote to the BBC asking

how to grow their own spaghetti.

What is April Fools Day and how did it begin? Well, that is a

very good question. The origin of this holiday is rather uncertain.

However, the common belief holds that during the reformation

of the calendar the date for the New Year was moved from April

1st to January 1st. During that time in history there was no

television and no radio so word spread slowly. There were also

tho who cho to simply ignore the change and tho who

merely forgot. The people were considered "fools" and

invitations to non-existent parties and other practical jokes were

played on them. "All Fools' Day" is practiced in many parts of the

world with practical jokes and nding people on a fool's errand.

Another thought is that the origin began with the

celebrations of the Spring Equinox. While some believe it has to

do the a Roman festival known as Hilaria, the end of the Celtic

new year.

In Scotland, April Fools Day lasts 48 hours, day two is know

as Taily Day and pranks involving the posterior are played. The

victim of the practical joke is referred to as "hunting the gowk";

the gowk is an extinct cuckoo bird.

In France, he is the "poisson d'Avril" or "fish of April." The fish

in April are newly hatched and easily caught. French children

enjoy taping a picture of a fish on their friends back and yelling

out "Poisson dAvril!" when it is found.

Da de los Santos Inocentes is held in Spain on December

28th. This is The Feast of the Holy Innocents. It's celebrated

similarly to April Fools' Day with practical jokes.

In the United States, pranks are played on just about

everybody. Pranks range from the standard "Your shoe is untied",

to some very creative and elaborate ideas. The only "rule" is that

no one should be harmed. The best jokes are when everybody

including the victim laughs.

April 1st or"April Fools' Day" is a day of trickery? in the United

States. Young students to older professionals? will u this day as

a time to play funny tricks? on their fellow students and

colleagues?. While sometimes the tricks get a bit mean, the day

is really meant for playing light-hearted jokes on other people.

One of the best April Fools' jokes I have ever en was at my

university. My English professor? came into the class two days

after we had all taken an exam and said"I have some very bad

news for everyone. It ems that either I am not a good teacher

or no one in this class is studying hard enough. I regret ?to inform?

you that everyone in this class has failed the exam." Since this

was one of three major? exams we had to take in the class, failing

the test meant that our final? grades would be very low. Everyone

in the class had this near death look on their face?. The rest of

the class - 45 minutes to be exact?- everyone just sat shocked?

waiting for the period to end. Just to note, I had studied veral

days for the exam and felt confident? I was going to do very well.

At the end of the class, our English professor said, “You guys?

need to study harder next time. This class is not a joke." With that

everyone walked out not saying a word. Later that evening, I

checked? my universities telephone message system? and there

was a message from my professor. I was really nervous? thinking

that he would ask me to visit him in his office (maybe I did wor

than everyone el I thought).

I clicked #1 on the message system? and waited to hear what

he had to say. His message was simple,"April Fools' Ladies and

Gentleman. I can't believe you all feel for it. Hahaha. You all did

well on the exam and I am proud of? you. Hahaha!"

Happy April Fools' Day Everyone!

From television revealing that spaghetti grows on trees to

advertiments for the left-handed burger, the tradition of April

Fool's Day stories in the media has a weird and wonderful history.

Here are veral of the top ten April Fool's Day pranks ever

pulled off, as judged by the US website of Muum of Hoaxes for

their notoriety, absurdity, and number of people duped.

Swiss spaghetti harvest tops the hoax list. In 1957, a BBC

television show announced that thanks to a mild winter and the

virtual elimination of the spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were

enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. Footage of Swiss farmers

pulling strands of spaghetti from trees prompted a barrage of

calls from people wanting to know how to grow their own

spaghetti at home.

Instant color TV ts in Sweden comes as the third. Sweden

in 1962 had only one television channel, which broadcast in black

and white. The station's technical expert appeared on the news

to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology,

viewers could convert their existing ts to receive color pictures

by pulling a nylon stocking over the screen.

US ex-president Nixon's comeback is placed at sixth. In 1992,

US National Public Radio announced that Richard Nixon was

running for president again. His new campaign slogan was, "I

didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again." They even had

clips of Nixon announcing his candidacy. Listeners flooded the

show with calls expressing their outrage. Nixon's voice actually

turned out to be that of impersonator Rich Little.

In 1998, a newsletter titled New Mexicans for Science and

Reason carried an article that the state of Alabama had voted to

change the value of pi from 3.14159 to the "Biblical value" of 3.0.

Burger King, an American fast-food chain, published a full-

page advertiment in USA Today in 1998 announcing the

introduction of the "Left-Handed Whopper," specially designed

for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the

advertiment, the new burger included the same ingredients as

the original, but the condiments were rotated 180 degrees. The

chain said it received thousands of requests for the new burger,

as well as orders for the original "right-handed" version.

Discover Magazine announced in 1995 that a highly

respected biologist, Aprile Pazzo (Italian for April Fool), had

discovered a new species in Antarctica: the hotheaded naked ice

borer. The creatures were described as having bony plates on

their heads that became burning hot, allowing the animals to

bore through ice at high speed.

Noted British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on the

radio in 1976 that at 9:47 am, a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical

event, in which Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, would cau a

gravitational alignment that would reduce the Earth's gravity.

Moore told listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact

moment of the planetary alignment, they would experience a

floating nsation. Hundreds of people called in to report feeling

the nsation.
