I read a BBC article this morning on April Fool’s jokes, especially the really famous one that Panorama pulled about spaghetti growing on trees. What a cracker that must have been, especially in that day when spaghetti wasn’t so common.
So it made me think about it for a while – where did April Fool’s jokes come from? What is the origin of the prank-filled day? Searching on Google for it (as you do) I found a couple of pages that caught my attention.
