Did you know?

April 1st is traditionally known as "All Fools' Day" in the Western world, a day to for grown adults to pull stupid pranks that otherwise would not be tolerated on other days of the year. The term "April Fool" refers to a prankster who plays a trick after noon (in some countries like Australia, the UK and New Zealand). Elsewhere, the jokes last all day. It's not a legal holiday, but some pranks may warrant an employee a "permanent vacation." :)

Care to share in the comments your most outrageous April fool, whether you were the prankster or the pranstee? (The folks at Elastic Path has been known for some doozies!)
