Spring Ahead Fool
There are all kinds of sites explaining the origin of April Fool. Some have soothing music in the background. Here you can see the extent that some people will go to for a joke, and to make money. And Infoplease tries to explain some of the history and connections. By using Google you can find lots more sites with different variations.
This is also the weekend we have to set our clocks ahead. "Spring Ahead" the saying goes. We lose an hour of sleep. It takes an hour to change all the clocks. You always miss one - - - or two. You find clocks built into things you never knew you had. Our sleep pattern gets confused for a few days. Daylight returns to darkness in the morning and darkness turns to daylight in the evening. What a system.
Kind of makes you wonder doesn't it - if April Fool and Spring Ahead were always connected.
