April Fools! [ What does your culture do? ]

[PiercedPixie2]

Today is April Fools, but goes by many other names...Poisson D'avril in French, Prima Aprilis in Polish, and Maj-kat in Danish~

In America, we dont have many good stories that i know.

But a Danish friend said he was told a story, 25 years ago a brewery put an article in a paper about how their beer had been slightly tainted, and they had to give what they could away by a certain time and trash the rest.

And you could have the beer for free as long as you had your own container. And the streets of that city were packed the entire day!


For more information on April Fools, the Wiki article has a LOT of funny stories: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools'_Day

* How does your culture celebrate it?
* Any good stories? PLEASE post them!

I usually don't fool people to that day, because my jokes tend to let people suffer psychically.

Next year I plan something harmless: ticket control in lifts...

...or charities against the rain forest...

I still want to prank people with my "massacre in the dead end"-plan:

Ingredients:
Police Uniforms
Movie blood
movie guts
a sidewalk you know off there aren't many people around.

1. stray the blood and guts all over the walk.
2. get into the uniform.
3. Hide yourself.
4. Blame the first ones who come around and convict them of a special case of murder...

Haaa, that would be such a fun...

You know, the ordinary... put on that nice gas mask you bought in Spain, position yourself behind a door and jump at your university classmates... rofl
Mixed results between simple eek , blaugh and gonk !

I had a hard time to belive it myself when I heard it the first time, but apparently people thought it was true.

in brazil we celebrate telling lies to all people. i have a cassmate who believes i anything u tell him, for example one my other class mate john paul said he killed someone and fernando shouted an was like "reaaally?" then we started to laugh and fernando got really mad blaugh  

[Verderbnis]

Haha, this reminds me of another day in school, a classmate suddenly shouted:" xxx is pregnant!" and the teacher who heard it was coming up to the girl after the class like:" I understand your situation, if you need any help, blah blah!"
