fools

day or all fools day, though not a holiday in its own right, is a
notable day celebrated in many countries on april 1. the day is

marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical
jokes of varying sophistication on friends and neighbors, or
sending them on fools errands, the aim of which is to
embarrass the gullible. in some countries, april fools jokes
(also called april fools) are only made before midday. [1] it is
also widely celebrated on the internet.



the origin of this custom has been much disputed. many
theories have been suggested.

what seems certain is that it is in some way or other a relic of
those once universal festivities held at the vernal equinox,
which, beginning on old new years day, the 25th of march,
ended on the 1st of april.

it has been suggested that europe derived its april-fooling
from the french [2]. france was one of the first nations to make
january 1

officially new years day (which was already celebrated by
many), by decree of charles ix. this was in 1564, even before
the adoption of the gregorian calendar (see julian start of the
year). thus the new years gifts and visits of felicitation which
had been the feature of the 1st of april became associated with
the first day of january, and those who disliked or did not hear
about the change were fair game for those wits who amused
themselves by sending mock presents and paying calls of

pretended ceremony on the 1st of april. french and dutch
references from 1508 and 1539 respectively describe april
fools day jokes and the custom of making them on the first of
april.

though the 1st of april appears to have been anciently
observed in great britain as a general festival, it was
apparently not until the beginning of the 18th century that the
making of april-fools was a common custom. in scotland the
custom was known as hunting the gowk, i.e. the cuckoo, and
april-fools were april-gowks, the cuckoo being there, as it is in
most lands, a term of contempt. in france the person fooled is
known as poisson davril. this has been explained from the
association of ideas arising from the fact that in april the sun
quits the zodiacal sign of the fish. a far more natural
explanation would seem to be that the april fish would be a
young fish and therefore easily caught.

the dutch celebrate the 1st of april for other reasons. in 1572,
the netherlands were ruled by spains king philip ii. roaming the
region were dutch rebels who called themselves geuzen, after
the french

gueux, meaning beggars. on 1 april, 1572, the geuzen seized
the small coastal town of den briel. this event was also the
start of the general civil rising against the spanish in other
cities in the netherlands. the duke of alba, commander of the
spanish army could not prevent the uprising. bril is the dutch
word for glasses, so on 1 april, 1572, alba lost his glasses.
dutch people find this joke so hilarious they still

commemorate the first of april.

the french traditionally celebrated this holiday by placing a
dead fish on the back of friends. today the fish is substituted
by a floppy kerk.

chaucers story, the nuns priests tale, written c.1400, takes
place on 32 march; that is, 1 april; it is chanticleer and the fox,
a story of two fools.

-known hoaxes

alabama changes the value of pi: the april 1998 newsletter of
new mexicans for science and reason contained an article
claiming that the alabama legislature had voted to change the
value of the mathematical constant pi to the biblical value of
3.0. this claim originally appeared as a news story in the 1961
sci-fi classic stranger in a strange land by robert a. heinlein.

spaghetti trees: the bbc television programme panorama ran a
famous hoax in 1957, showing the swiss harvesting spaghetti
from trees. they had claimed that the despised pest the
spaghetti wevil had been eradicated.

a large number of people contacted the bbc wanting to know
how to cultivate their own spaghetti trees.

south park: april 1st was advertised as being the premiere of
the shows second season—and also the resolution of a
cliffhanger where eric cartman was about to discover the
identity of his father. fans spent weeks speculating on the
fathers identity, but when they tuned in to the episode, they
were instead treated to a half-hour of terrance and phillip

fart jokes. the true resolution to the cliffhanger aired several
weeks later. the shows creators, trey parker and matt stone
claim during the dvd introduction to this episode that they
received death threats over pulling the prank, although there
were not any police reports to prove this. left handed
whoppers: in 1998, burger king ran an ad in usa today, saying
that people could get a whopper for left- handed people whose
condiments were designed to drip out the right side.

taco liberty bell: in 1996, taco bell took out a full-page
advertisement in the new york times announcing that they had
purchased the liberty bell to reduce the countrys debt and
renamed it the taco liberty bell. when asked about the sale,
white house press secretary mike mccurry replied with tongue-
in-cheek that the lincoln memorial had also been sold and
would henceforth be known as the ford lincoln mercury
memorial.

lies to get you out of the house in 1985, the l.a. weekly printed
an entire page of fake things to do on april fools day, by which
hundreds of people were fooled.

kremvax: in 1984, in one of the earliest on-line hoaxes, a
message was circulated that usenet had been opened to users
in the soviet union.

san serriffe: the guardian printed a supplement in 1* this
fictional resort, its two main islands (upper caisse and lower
caisse), its capital (bodoni), and its leader (general pica).
intrigued readers were later

disappointed to learn that san serriffe (sans serif) did not exist
except as references to typeface terminology. (this comes from
a jorge luis borges story).

fbi crackdowns on on- line file sharing of music: such
announcements on april fools day have become common.

metric time: repeated several times in various countries, this
hoax involves claiming that the time system will be changed to
one in which units of time are based on powers of 10.

smell-o-vision: in 1965, the bbc purported to conduct a trial of
a new technology allowing the transmission of odor over the
airwaves to all viewers. many viewers reportedly contacted the
bbc to report the trials success. this hoax was also conducted
by the seven network in australia in 2005.

tower of pisa: the dutch television news reported once in the
1950s that the tower of pisa had fallen. many shocked people
contacted the station

[citation needed].

wrapping televisions in foil: in another year, the dutch
television news reported that the government had new
technology to detect unlicensed televisions (in many european
countries, television license fees fund public broadcasting),
but that wrapping a television in aluminium foil could prevent
its detection.

breast exams by satellite: in the 1990s, portuguese national
television
