April Fools history
The history of April Fool's joke or All Dead uncertain, but the current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was on 25 Moved in March - 1st April (New Year's week) to 1 January.
Communication traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years later. Still others who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued on the last day of the former celebration, 1 April to celebrate.
These people were called "fools" by the general population, were subject to ridicule and sent on "fool errands," sent invitations to nonexistent parties and had other jokes played on them. The butt of pranks became known as "Poisson d'Avril" or "April fish" because a young naive fish is easily intercepted. In addition, a common practice, a paper fish on the back was a joke someone hook.
This harassment over time and a custom of trick-play continued to perform on the first day of April. This tradition eventually spread elsewhere in England and Scotland in the 18th Century liked and was introduced into the American colonies by the British and the French. Because of this spread to other countries, April Fool's joke was on an international flavor with each country celebrating the holiday taken in its own way.
In Scotland, for example, is April Fool spoofs involving the buttocks to dedicated and as such as Taily day. The butt of jokes in April 'Gowk', another name for cuckoo known. The origins of the "Kick Me" sign can be up to the Scottish observance can be traced back.
