Beacuse on april fools day,pranks can only be made before 12:00pm, otherwise the prankster is a fool.
p.s. the clock on your post actually says 12:53pm, thus you are both fools... :smoker:

Uhm okay, guess that differs between cultures then. Rule not applied here anyway, even though few april's fools pranks are pulled made after 12:00. Actually, I wrote my first post in this thread 15:02 (damn you and your silly ways of writing time :P) so I was even more late.

Spring eh? whats that? oh its when its not quite as cold as it has been for the past few months isn't it, anyway, we don't have mechanical clocks up 'ere yet, were still on t'sundial.
besides that we're all illiterate up here anyway, so i can't actually read the clock, I have a specially trained whippet that types my KW posts for me, from dictation.

The history of April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day is uncertain, but the current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (new year's week) to January 1. Communication traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years later. Still others, who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued to celebrate on the last day of the former celebration, April 1. These people were labeled "fools" by the general populace, were subject to ridicule and sent on "fool errands," sent invitations to nonexistent parties and had other practical jokes played upon them. The butts of these pranks became known as a "poisson d'avril" or "April fish" because a young naive fish is easily caught. In addition, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke.
This harassment evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continue on the first day of April. This tradition eventually spread elsewhere like to Britain and Scotland in the 18th century and was introduced to the American colonies by the English and the French. Because of this spread to other countries, April Fool's Day has taken on an international flavor with each country celebrating the holiday in its own way.
In Scotland, for instance, April Fool's Day is devoted to spoofs involving the buttocks and as such is called Taily Day. The butts of these jokes are known as April 'Gowk', another name for cuckoo bird. The origins of the "Kick Me" sign can be traced back to the Scottish observance.
In England, jokes are played only in the morning. Fools are called 'gobs' or 'gobby' and the victim of a joke is called a 'noodle.' It was considered back luck to play a practical joke on someone after noon.
In Rome, the holiday is known as Festival of Hilaria, celebrating the resurrection of the god Attis, is on March 25 and is also referred to as "Roman Laughing Day."
In Portugal, April Fool's Day falls on the Sunday and Monday before lent. In this celebration, many people throw flour at their friends.
The Huli Festival is celebrated on March 31 in India. People play jokes on one another and smear colors on one another celebrating the arrival of Spring.
So, no matter where you happen to be in the world on April 1, don't be surprised if April fools fall playfully upon you.

Sundial? Luxury! We had to tell ' time by the sound of the whistle at ' mill. There were only three times, worktime, dinnertime and hometime and you had yer tea when ye got home.
I've never learned to read, we had to get ' mill owner's son to read for us, aaah the young master would waste 'is time wi' them books not to mention running round graveyards wi' scantily clad young wimmen screamin' about the lord in 'is castle being a vampire when anyone would see that the lord would have 'is perculiar ways and 'oo should 'old that 'gainst 'im aye?
Sorry I don't know what came over me. I must get me one of them whippets.
Cheers,

hehehe, So what? :D I liked reading all that. It was interesting! I never knew half all that. I also never knew the "Kick Me" sign idea was THAT old! hehehe! :D When I was little, putting those signs on kids backs in grade school was really popular.
Thanks or the useless trivia iam-pk-san!
Oh... you don't happen to eat Iams dog food by any chance, do you? hehehe... :D :D

Ewww.... Bet it was gross, hehehe! Though, the canned food I feed my puppy smells and looks pretty good. It's a stew with veggies. Am thinking it would be a pretty bad April Fool's joke to try to serve it as a homemade stew... Not that I would of course! :D

I've eaten dog food before too. The biscuits are really good for your teeth (says so on the box), but the stuff in cans tastes pretty awful. Don't see how dogs can stand the stuff....

I think I ate some dryed stuff when I was about 4. I was surprised it tasted bad for some reason. I read some where that dogs have a strong sense of smell and little to no taste.
So the food they eat mostly just smell and has little flavor. But I'll leave that opinion up to The great IAM who seems to have tried them all.
