April Fool's Day



A bit of history :  
April Fools' Day is a day celebrated in many countries on April 1st.
On that day people make practical jokes (pranks/tricks) to friends, family members, enemies, neighbors. The aim is to embarrass and have fun. 

The media often play the game by spreading hoaxes.
The earliest recorded association between April 1st and foolishness can be found in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392).
