Summary:
April 1 is the only day of the year where people go around doing pranks and lying to each other, but of course they only lie in a facetious(pg.62) manner. While nobody knows where and how April Fools started, there several theories, but the one theory that is the most famous is that in 1564, King Charles IX of France passed a law that changed the beginning of the year from April 1 to January 1. At first there were people that were misinformed or were just too slow to adjust and they would get mocked and people would pull pranks on them for celebrating New Years on April 1. Another theory is that April 1 is the beginning of Spring and the weather can fool people.
Detail:
-The most famous theory of how April Fools began was in days of yore(pg.83) (1564) in France when the king changed new years from April 1 to January 1
-People have been searching "how to pull April Fools pranks"
-People should watch out for April Fools pranks and try not to be so plausible(pg.94) or else they can get a prank pulled on them
