 Before anything else, I apologize for my writting errors and any wrong fact I tell you here. I like that day. In my country we have a day close in meaning to that, related to the Bible (Catholic). By the days when Jesus was born, Herodes (sorry if the name isn't the right one), the king, sent some people to kill every baby, because he didn't know wich one was The One. He was foolished, the people who were supposed to kill Jesus didn't do it, but told him that the job was done. That day was 28th December. Here it's called something like Holy Innocent's day.  Feel free to make any corrections. |

Thanks  Anyway, a bloody celebration... although he was foolished, lots of children died. Itīs not the best day to make pranks, I guess. |

Wow, I never knew how April fools day came about. I've never really brought myself to think about it though. I've just taken it for granted.
So, it was due to a mishap regarding Calendars? It all appears to be confusing stuff in my opinion. Amazing how cruel some people get to proove to others that they're the ones who are correct (for example, with the new year date). Anyway, I don't suppose it will change much knowing about April Fools. It was interesting stuff to know though, thanks for sharing! |

The Apirl 1 is one of the memorable days that come year after year. I make fun of my friends and family members by playing pranks and they do some pranks on me. All these funs are enjoyable and give us a hearty laughter for a few days after 1st April. Eagerly waiting for April 1 to play some new pranks on everyone......

I haven't been in any other country than mine, but talking with people that have traveled a lot I've found that many countries have many celebrations much alike or to celebrate the same thing, as that fools day. Does some one else know if there's another calendar day for that thing in Japan for example??
