History of Aprils Fool's Day
"The history of April Fool's started with a change in the calendar regarding what day is celebrated for the New Year. The old "New Year's Day" was actually celebrated on April 1st until it ultimately moved to January 1st. As word traveled slowly in the old world, many people did not believe this shift in the calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1st. Those in the know referred to these people as April Fools ! - The Closest point in time that can be indentified as the beginning of this tradition was in France in 1563. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1 and was celebrated in much the same way as it is today." - Taken from: http://www.april-fools-tricks.com/History_of_April_Fools.htm - They also have some great practical jokes ! - It is amazing how April Fool's Day pranks have evolved from a change in the calendar !

Quote of the Day:
The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year. - Mark Twain
