Today is April Fools Day, aka All Fools Day and is our yearly day for practical jokes and hoaxes.
It's not really a 'holiday' anywhere. Just a fairly universal day for playing pranks on your fellows which will be more or less well received but sometimes poorly reacted to depending on the personality of your recipient.
There are even elaborate kits obtainable from joke shops to aid and abet your efforts at invoking that mirthful mayhem you seek.
If you find yourself in Odessa, Ukraine there it is an official city holiday.
If you miss the day entirely (which I sometimes do) there are other yearly opportunities for playing various jokes on others.
Some of us don't even need a special day at all. Yes, I am a joker and a hoaxer and I make it a point to give people this crap at least once yearly, but often induge myself even more frequently. So if you hear me shout April Fools at you rest assured you have been pranked even if you you haven't noticed what I did ... yet.
Happy April Fools Day to you !
