It’s April, no deception!

On April 1, how many of us have heard stories, read a newspaper article, or received an email from friends, family, or co-workers that was immediately followed by the loud cry of “April Fools”?

April 1 is the US national holiday for tricks, pranks, and other practical jokes. The commonly accepted origin of April Fools ‘Day or All April Fools’ Day involves changes in the calendar. At one point, the New Year’s celebration began on March 25 and ended on April 1. However, in 1582, King Charles IX accepted the beginning of the New Year as January 1. Those who refused to acknowledge the new date or simply forgot, received silly gifts and invitations to non-existent parties. It has turned into a day of light hoaxes and has produced some well-known and elaborate hoaxes.

The United States is not the only country participating in a national prank day. Several others around the world also host a day similar to ours.

o In Iran, people play pranks on April 3, the 13th of the Persian calendar. It is believed that people should go out on this date to escape the bad luck of the number 13.

o On April 1, the French play a game called “The April Fish” and try to glue a paper fish to the back of the victims without their realizing it. This is also widespread in other nations, such as Italy, where “April’s Fish” is also used to refer to any other joke that is made during the day.

o In Belgium, the tradition is that children lock their parents or teachers outside the house or school, and only let them in if they promise to bring sweets the same night or the next day.

o In some countries, including the UK, Australia and New Zealand, on April 1, if someone does a fool’s trick after noon, the person doing the trick is actually considered a fool.

So this year, if you can’t create a credible hoax, joke, or joke yourself, you can try to get a feel for some of the countries mentioned above. You won’t just get the benefit of yelling “April Fool’s!” to your unsuspecting victim, but it will also teach him a little about a few different customs; And that’s no joke!
