In the midd fifteen sixties by king Charles the night, some people still celebrated IT on April first, and those people were called April fools. Pranks performed on April fools day range from the simple, such as saying your shoes are tied to elaborate. Setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. The news media even gets involved.
