Interested in the history of April Fool's Day? Check out this article from the Infoplease Almanac. For some of the best April Fool's pranks, take a look at this page from Snopes, which includes:
- The fast-food restaurant that advertised a new "left-handed" hamburger, with toppings rotated 180 degrees so they don't squish out from the right side.
- A radio program announcing a strange "gravitational" pull that would happen at 9:47am, and advised listeners to jump in the air at precisely that time to experience "a strange floating sensation."
- A fake news spot from the BBC in 1957, reporting an early spring spaghetti harvest.
Happy April Fool's Day - but don't forget that any materials due today are still due today!
