APRIL FOOLS’ DAY:
April Fools' Day or April Fool's Day (sometimes called All Fools' Day) is an annual
celebration commemorated on April 1st by playing practical jokes and spreading
hoaxes. ... People playing April Fool jokes often expose their prank by shouting "April
fools" at the unfortunate victims
It’s unclear exactly where the April Fool tradition originated, but some people are
more than happy to have the opportunity to play personal pranks on their friends,
family members or coworkers. Similar precursor holidays can be found in Rome (the
Festival of Hilaria on March 25th) and the medieval Feast of Fools in December.
Some also believe that the holiday stems from Pope Gregory XIII’s decision to restore
January 1st as New Year’s day on the Gregorian calendar – the Julian calendar that it
replaced celebrated New Year’s day on April 1st

● In 1976 a very famous British astronomer told radio listeners that at 9.47 a.m. the
earth was going to experience a feeling of less gravity. He said that Jupiter and Pluto
would cross and if listeners jumped in the air at exactly 9.47 a.m. they would feel the
sensation of having no gravity! Hundreds of listeners phoned the radio to say they had
jumped and floated in the air!
