Today is the 1st of April popularly known as “All Fools' Day” and it’s one of the most light-hearted days of the year. Its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar.
Here is a little history on the day’s origin and mentions.
- In 1509, a French poet referred to a Poisson’ as ‘April fool’, literally “April fish”, a possible reference to the holiday.
- In 1539, Flemish poet Eduard de Dene wrote of a nobleman who sent his servants on foolish errands on the 1st of April.
- In 1686, John Aubrey referred to the holiday as “Fool es holy day”, the first British references.
The Day is always a good time to share a prank or two with friends and colleagues. Which means pranksters around the world would have the chance to pull off punk jumps on their friends. Some can be fun while others can be too expensive a joke to pull but either ways I’ll definitely be pulling off a few on my friends! :D
Has anyone pulled a fast one on you already? Comment here and let's hear it!
Lol! Enjoy the day with care….
