New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (new year's week) to January 1 with the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar but still the people who celebrated on April were considered fools and other folks played pranks on them . Here I show 3 pretty entertaining pranks played on April 1 (Fool's Day):
2008: BBC aired a clip where Film maker and writer Terry Jones discovered a COLONY OF PENGUINS THAT CAN ACTUALLY FLY. Hilarious!

1998: Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "LEFT-HANDED WHOOPER" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans," lol

2006:GOOGLE ROMANCE is a place where you can post all types of romantic information and, using their Soulmate Search™, get back search results that could, in theory, include the love of your life. Then they'll send you both on a Contextual DateTM, which they'll pay for while delivering to you relevant ads that they and their advertising partners think will help produce the dating results you're looking for.
