April Fools Day!
The origin of April Fools Day is shrouded in mystery. It never seems to have been an official holiday with an official reason or celebration. Perhaps its just all a joke!In truth, it seems that April Fools Day originated when the calendar was changed from one where April 1st was New Years Day, to the Gregorian calendar, with its New Year beginning on January 1st.
Some people just didn't get the message, cell phones not having been invented in 1582. Some people probably just forgot (how many times have you written the wrong date on your checks the first few days of January?), and some folks were probably just stubborn.
Not sure I blame them, I don't even like Daylight Savings Time.
And so it became common to play pranks on the "April Fools". A favorite was to send them on a "Fools Errand". The Scottish seem to have started the whole "kick me" sign on the back tradition.
Modern pranks show up everywhere, even on the internet and the nightly news!
