The origins of April Fool's come from 16th century France I believe. In french, April Fool's is called "Poisson d'avril", which literally translates into "April's Fish". So thats why, in french elementary schools, the common April Fool's day prank you'll encounter is someone sticking a little paper fish on your back without you realizing it. I dont know about you guys, but I think this is a cool fuckin story.
