April Fool's Day is tomorrow...
One theory on the origin of April Fool's Day states that it began in the 1500s when the Gregorian calendar took over from the Julian. Those who forgot the change and attempted to celebrate New Year's (previously celebrated on the 1st of April) on the wrong date were teased as "April fools." This has not been proven or disproven as an origin.
There are several other explanations that are presented at Snopes.com. Some more interesting reading is the top 100 pranks of all time. A great website to visit is http://www.thefoolsday.com/ where we find the Mark Twain quote, "April 1st: This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three-hundred and sixty-four."
