Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay thread turnover! We can do this, people!

At least it will mean I've accomplished something today.
