Some decades back, April 1, 1980.... I played such a prank.

It was Banco Presidential in the heart of Rio De Janiero.

Harllaby:
April who was born on 1st April 1579. He did 105 businesses in his lifetime. He lost all his father's assets, and so everyone started calling him father of the fools. At 19, he married a 61-year-old woman who divorced him after a year because of his foolishness.























He used to read all kinds of fake stories like you are doing now.

2. On April 1, 1700, English pranksters begin popularizing the annual tradition of April Fools’ Day by playing practical jokes on each other...
Although the day, also called All Fools’ Day, has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, its exact origins remain a mystery.

You left the real information.

April Fools’ Day dates back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, as called for by the Council of Trent in 1563. In the Julian Calendar (as in the Hindu calendar), the new year began with the spring equinox AROUND April 1.

To dissuade people from celebrating April First as the first day of the year, the Pope Gregory XIII declared that those who still celebrate April 1st as the first day of the year are FOOLS. But England, unhappy with the Church of Rome, refused to go along with the new calendar. In the mid-18th century the difference had grown to 11 days. All British lands except Scotland, which changed its calendar 100 years before, now celebrated New Year's Day on Jan. 1.

Between 1582 and 1752 BOTH calendars, old and new style, were used in Europe in different locations – causing some rather perplexing dates for future researchers.

But changing calendars left everyone with a problem. Since the Gregorian calendar accounted more accurately for leap years, it was 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar by 1752. To correct this discrepancy and align all dates, 11 days had to be dropped when the switch was made.

Other countries started copying France's move (France was the first Roman empire to adopt the Gregorian calendar). We're anglophones, a former British colony. So I'll be telling you who Britain adopted the Gregorian calendar.



People living in Britain, America and other English colonies went to sleep on the night of Sept. 2, 1752, and when they woke up the next morning it was Sept. 14, 1752. Because the people thought the government was trying to cheat them out of 11 days of their lives, there were riots in villages. Eleven days (Sept. 3-13) were cut from the calendar, deleting them forever. These days simply never existed – no births, no marriages, no deaths.

This was very confusing by itself, but added to this change was that New Year moved from March 25 to Jan. 1. Think how confusing this must have been to people used to thinking about a year running from March 25 to March 24, now they had to get used to the year running from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. Imagine – a person could have been married on April 26, 1710 and died on Feb 2, 1710.
