April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day started the same way as most people celebrate this day do now. It was started in April 1, 1700 as an annual celebration to pull practical jokes on their neighbors. It's exact origins remain a mystery. Some think it started in 1582 when France changed their calender. Some ancient societies believed that it started when mother nature would change the climate in April. Now people go to great lengths to prank one another like making fake announcements and announcing fake products that would be really cool if they were real. There have been many hoaxes on April Fool's Day that people do believe. In particular, BBC made people believe that a digital clock was going to be added to Big Ben. Burger King announced a left handed whopper that many customers ended up asking for it. In Switzerland, a news station announced the creation of a spaghetti tree where yo u can grow your own spaghetti at home.
