April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day, although not a holiday in its own right, is a notable
day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by
the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of
varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on fool's errand, the aim of which
is to embarrass the
gullible. Traditionally, in some
countries, the jokes only last until noon:
like UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, someone who plays a trick after noon
is called an "April Fool".[1] Elsewhere, such as
in Ireland, France, and the USA, the jokes last all day.
Happy April Fool's Day!!
