April Fools’ Day is a day designated for playing pranks on others, and its origins are unknown. However, it is believed to have first been celebrated in France. During the 16th century, New Year’s Day was observed from March 25th to April 1st. When King Charles IX changed it to January 1st in the mid-1560s, some people continued to celebrate on April 1st, earning them the label of "April Fools." Different countries have their unique ways of celebrating. In France, people label April fools as "April Fish" by placing a paper fish on their backs. In England, jokes are only played in the morning, and those deceived are called "noodles." Scotland extends the holiday to 48 hours, calling April fools "April Gowks," a term for cuckoo birds. In the United States, small pranks are common on April 1st, such as telling someone their shoelace is undone.

April 1st is famously known as April Fools’ Day, where it is tradition to play a trick on a friend. If they fall for it, they are considered an "April Fool." This custom is not limited to children but enjoyed by adults as well. Sometimes, media outlets even attempt to trick the public with an intricate April Fool’s story. For instance, a renowned prank on the radio involved a correspondent claiming that unusual geological changes had caused varying levels of gravity in different parts of Britain, urging listeners to jump and see if they could jump higher. Many people obliged, demonstrating the prank's success. It was not until noon that the BBC reminded listeners it was April Fools’ Day. After midday, attempting to pull a fast one makes the perpetrator a bigger fool than the victim, a rule universally acknowledged.

According to a well-researched tale, the custom of April Fool’s Day began in 1545 with an unfortunate mishap. A Norwegian scientist, Loof Lirpa, was visiting London, conducting experiments to discover the secret of flight. Mr. Lirpa was eccentric yet brilliant. He claimed to have solved the mystery of flight and invited King Henry VIII to a demonstration at Westminster on April 1st.
On the appointed day, the king and prominent politicians gathered at the Palace of Westminster, anticipation building. To their disappointment, nothing occurred. This event later became the tradition of playing pranks on April 1st. However, evidence later revealed that Mr. Lirpa was not joking; he had indeed mastered flight. His absence at Westminster was due to his flying machine crashing into a tree, tragically ending his life and taking the secret of flight with him.2024-03-04
