Written By Jenna Preston, Active Media Contributing Writer

However this ridiculous day got its start, it gained tremendous popularity during the 18th century throughout Britain and much of Europe, eventually finding its way to various countries around the world.
April Fools’ Day has actually been celebrated in some form for centuries and by many different cultures. The exact origins of the day are not entirely clear, but some speculate that it dates back to the 16th century when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. In the Julian calendar, the new year actually began on or around April first, so as to coincide with the Spring Equinox.
One of the craziest April Fools’ hoaxes of all time was that of the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest in 1957. On April first of that year, the respectable BBC news program Panorama announced that thanks to a mild winter and the elimination of a dreaded creature called the spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were celebrating an enormous spaghetti harvest. They even showed footage of Swiss people pulling strands of spaghetti out of trees! The prank was so convincing that many British citizens called in wanting to know how they could get their own spaghetti tree.
ave you ever fallen victim to a crazy prank on the first of April? It’s happened to most of us at one point or another. Did you have to endure more cockamamie shenanigans yet again this year? Don’t feel bad if that’s the case; you’re not the only one. Here is the history behind the day that makes us want to run for cover each spring.
In changing to the Gregorian calendar, the new year moved to January first. Many people, however, were not immediately aware of the change and continued to celebrate in the last week of March leading up to April first. As is still the case today, mockery often follows when one is slow to discover new trends or information, so these poor folks became the butt of jokes and were known as “April Fools.” One particular prank was to put a paper fish on such a person’s back, symbolizing an easily caught fish or a gullible person. Another possible theory about the origins of April Fools’ Day ties it back to the ancient Roman festival of Hilaria, which is Latin for “joyful.” This celebration took place at the end of March and often involved people dressing up in costumes to disguise themselves, before going around and mocking other citizens and magistrates. Yet another idea is that April Fools’ Day was tied to the vernal equinox (first day of Spring) in the Northern Hemisphere, and served as a metaphor of sorts for how the forces of nature trick people with their sudden changes at this time of year.
Some pranks are more alarming than funny, though. On the morning of April first, 1974, the town of Sitka, Alaska awoke to find that clouds of black smoke were rising from the crater of Mount Edgecumbe, a long-time dormant volcano. Panic nearly set in, but thankfully it was discovered that a local practical joker, not an angry mother nature, was responsible for the ominous smoke. Porky Bickar was so committed to his April Fools’ stunt that he flew hundreds of old tires into the crater of the volcano and lit them on fire, which I’m sure all of us will agree was a terrible idea, joke or no. When Mount Saint Helens erupted six years later, one victim of his prank wrote Porky to tell him that this time he’d gone too far. Hopefully any pranks that you may or may not have fallen for this year were merely harmless and silly, but remember next year that when April first rolls around again, it’s wise to keep one eye open for tricksters like Porky. *info from history.com and hoaxes.org
