Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ha! I had a similar April Fool's prank in college. I sent a letter to my roommate accusing him of cheating on a test and sending him before the judiciary committee. However, I wasn't entirely heartless and made sure I accompanied him to the post office when he got the letter and did the reveal within ten minutes.
Ten minutes, I should add where he took off straight for his History professor and I had to drag him away from the prof's door.
Impressive, Tep
For me, including the tip off that it is a joke with the heart attack inducing letter is key to the whole thing.
I don't really believe the Simpson's explanation. I thought the calendar used to start with March, which is why when they added days to the end of July and August to honor the Emperors Julius and Augustus, they took them from February. I always figured that the April Fool thing was another iteration of the springtime topsy-turvy role-reversal holidays that there seem to be a bunch of but I can't think of any concrete examples right now.
I would add 2 C of chopped nuts, because I am a sloppy baker who doesn't read recipes all that carefully. I am also an undemanding consumer of baked goods, so it all works out for me.
That is just bad direction-writing. The nuts, that is.
I can't believe the slowness of this thread turnover.
In conclusion, Zckerman's famous pig!

Possible origins of April Fool's Day. Tep's Simpsons theory makes the list.
My grandmother's birthday is today. Something we've never, ever let her forget.
Info please gives the Simpson's explanation, problems with it, a hoax explanation, spring craziness, and celebrations of the day around the world.
Yay thread turnover! We can do this, people!
At least it will mean I've accomplished something today.

Exactly what I was thinking!
