So may nauto ba kayo nung April 1? Di lang kasi masyadong sikat sa Pilipinas, pero sa buong mundo sikat ang April 1 bilang April Fools Day. Kung manloloko ka ng kapwa, malamang ginagawa ito sa unang araw ng Abril.
Paano ba nagsimulat ito? Eto raw ayon sa wikipedia...
Nung Middle Ages, ang Bagong Taon ay ipinagdiriwang ng March 25 sa Europa. Dahil isang linggo ang pagdiriwang, nagtatapos ito sa April 1. Posible na tinawag na April Fools ang April 1, dahil habang ang buong mundo ay nagdiriwang ng bagong taon pag January 1, meron pang nag-ce-celebrate ng April 1.
Eto naman ang ilan sa pinakamalaking kalokohan na nagawa ng April 1:
Alabama Changes the Value of Pi: The April 1998 newsletter of New Mexicans for Science and Reason contained an article written by physicist Mark Boslough claiming that the Alabama Legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi. This claim originally appeared as a news story in the 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein,[9] however see also the actual Indiana Pi Bill.
Spaghetti trees: The BBC television programme Panorama ran a famous hoax in 1957, showing Italians harvesting spaghetti from trees. They had claimed that the despised pest, the spaghetti weevil, had been eradicated. A large number of people contacted the BBC wanting to know how to cultivate their own spaghetti trees. It was, in fact, filmed in St Albans.[10]
