The Greek \u201cHappy Fools\u2019 Day” on April 1st is traditionally established as the day that we fool the others or tell jokes. On April 1st, you can also use the Greek wish\u00a0 \u00a0\u201c\u039a\u03b1\u03bb\u03ae \u03a0\u03c1\u03c9\u03c4\u03b1\u03c0\u03c1\u03b9\u03bb\u03b9\u03ac !\u201d (Kali protaprilia) = Happy Fools\u2019 Day!
\nThe only difference is that in Greek you actually say \u201cHappy First of April\u201d!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some examples of \u201cApril 1st jokes\u201d that never will be forgotten:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 1957<\/strong>, The spaghetti-tree hoax was a three-minute hoax report broadcast by the BBC, showing a family in Switzerland harvesting spaghetti from a \u201cspaghetti tree\u201d. Back then spaghetti was relatively little-known in the UK, so that many Britons were unaware that spaghetti is made from wheat flour and water.<\/p>\n

In 1993<\/strong>, The Independent had its archaeological prank, when the newspaper announced the discovery of the 3000-year old village of cartoon heroes Asterix and Obelix. The village, said to be 3000 years old, was reportedly found at Le Yaudet, near Lannion, France \u2013 almost exactly where author Rene Goscinny placed it in his books. Professor Barry Cunliffe of Oxford University and Dr. Patrick Galliou of the University of Brest were credited with its finding.<\/p>\n

In 1995<\/strong> the Greek Ministry of Culture said it found the tomb of Socrates, the old philosopher who is buried in an unknown place. It was said the tomb was found near the base of the Acropolis during excavation for the Athens metro system. A vase containing traces of hemlock was reportedly in the tomb, too. The French news wire Agence France-Presse reported the prank first.<\/p>\n

Note: Do not forget, the 1st of every month, in Greece you also say \u201cKalo Mina<\/strong>\u201d!<\/p>\n

We wish you a very nice month of April.<\/p>\n
