A little history for you on April 1st, better known as April fool's day.  Why IS IT called April fool's day anyway?

"No one knows for sure why people began pulling pranks on April 1, but we've been doing it for centuries. The first unequivocal reference to April Fools' Day was in a 1539 Flemish poem. 'It described a man who sent his servant on a series of wild goose chases on April 1,' says Alex Boese, author and curator of Museum of Hoaxes. 'Eventually, the servant caught on and complained that he'd been sent on a 'fools' errand today.'  The rest is history.  "It's a holiday from people's childhood." '-msn.com

Oh, and since I always say it, "Time flies.  Seriously, where does time go?"  Is it really APRIL 1ST already?
