Well...mods and admins have managed to ban themselves...only Malow remains. It's nuts. April Fool's has taken a turn for the...what-the-hell-is-going-on-now. Will there be spam? Perhaps. Will there be flaming? Perhaps. Will I be the next username in grey? Probably.  Anyways...how's everybody's day going? I haven't been able to pull off one trick thus far. How about you guys? |

| Work and more work for me...so I'm not even going to bother with today. Just another day anyway.... And now, for the history part of it: Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn't a "first April Fool's Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring. The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1. However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes. This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fool's Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families. In Scotland, for example, April Fool's Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance. Mexico's counterpart of April Fool's Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery. Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!" Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fool's Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool! |

| Well, no, since I always end up laughing when trying to fool someone. Well, we just got the 'russ' clothing today (don't ask, and yes, I know it's late..)... And, cheap as I am, I've gotten my parents to pay 'em, anyway, when I got home with the clothes, I tried to tell them that they hadn't payed enough for them, and that we'd gotten an extra bill of 1000 kr... but I'm a sucker at sounding convincing with these kind of things, so of course they didn't buy it. |

For some reason, April Fools is called "Poisson d'avril" (April fish) in French  And I haven't done any prank or joke today yet ... the staff banning was real and planned, you can even check in the Memberlist or FAQ and see I didn't just change the staff colors to grey And while you're at it, check the new admins under the Admin section of the Memberlist ... |
