April Fooled ;)~
It’s
that time of year again… where most of the world tries
to pull the best pranks on their family, friends and nemesis’s.
The
history of the day is thought to have originated in France
because, before the use of the Gregorian calendar, New Year's
celebrations ended on the first of April.
In
1582, Pope Gregory changed the old Julian calendar to the
new Gregorian calendar. When New Year's Day was changed
to January 1st, the people who still celebrated it on April
1st were called April Fools.
According
to the 21st Century Edition of Collins English
Dictionary & Thesaurus, an April fool is a victim of
a practical joke performed on the first of April.
Believe
it or not, but my student government has been making a victim
out of most of the people at Humber and has been playing
the prank since the beginning of September 2004 (It’s
the longest on-going April Fool’s joke I have ever
witnessed).
The
first couple of weeks of school, people were talking about
the big day, not realizing what day it was on… even
I was fooled. And since, students and their parents have
been calling HSF headquarters to buy tickets for the show.
If
publishing the performance wasn’t enough, HSF has been
posting flyers around the college for the past two months.
It’s hilarious!
Here
are some of my favourite April Fool pranks:
