Umm.. the only thing I remember doing was in 4th grade we had these journals we wrote in, and then our parents would write back. Well, my mother was the one to do those kinda things and she was kinda sick that day. So after school me and my Dad go to the Pillbox and got a fake big-ass ant. Well, I put the bug in the journal and went up to the couch where she was sleeping. LMAO, you shouldve seen her jump when she opened the thing up. Ahaha. Thats all Ive done. Im usually the one being joked on.

*PinkLady* 04-01-2003, 06:58 PM I don't play any jokes on people. I hate April Fools Day because I believe everything I hear and I end up making a fool out of myself. Good thing spring break is now, or I probably would have made myself the laughingstock of the school at some point today.
Camillian 04-01-2003, 07:33 PM The history of April Fools day:
Everything Explained
Where Did April Fools' Day Start?
The origin of April Fools' Day most likely began with King Charles IX of France in 1564 (although some say it started with Pope Gregory XIII in 1582). King Charles IX ordered a new calendar to replace the old Julian calendar, which was then named the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar changed the order of the months and thus New Year's Day was moved to January 1. Before the change, the New Year was celebrated on March 25, the advent of spring, and ended on April 1.
Historians are not sure if some French simply resisted the change or were not told about it, but they continued to hold their celebrations during the week of April 1. Many people ridiculed them and sent them fake gifts and invitations to nonexistent parties. They were often the butt of jokes around this time and called ''fools'' for celebrating New Year's on April 1 instead of the newly adopted January 1.
Through time, the French adopted April 1 as a new celebration of these events and called it Poisson d'Avril meaning ''April fish.'' The significance of the term ''April fish'' has to do with the zodiac. At that time of year, the sun was leaving the zodiacal sign of Pisces, the fish, and was therefore of significance to the previous New Year celebration.
The customary French tradition for celebrating Poisson d'Avril is for children to make paper fish and run around taping the fish to their friends' backs. In essence, making them a fool. Once the ''victim'' realized what had happened, the prankster would cry out ''Poisson d'Avril'' and the pranks would continue. It appears that this French tradition was such great fun that it reached other countries, including England and then America, although it took nearly 200 years to spread.
~LadyJess~ 04-02-2003, 09:59 PM I hate April Fool's day but my English teacher played the best joke on my history teacher. He wrote him a note saying that the college he went to found out that he was 2 credits short of getting his teaching certificate and he was no longer certified to teach history and could finish out the year as a permanent sub and make up the credits during the summer. He had everyone in on it, the principals and even the guy from the college. So when my history teacher came bursting into my English class screaming, "You son of a bitch!," and saying that he called the guy at the college, we all started lauhging because we were in on it too. It was great fun for us.
