True- The calender started with April in the 1500's Then Pope Gregory changed it to the Gregorian calender and it started with Jan Feb Mar . Those that continued to celebrate April !st were called April fools.

Some jack-ass went to work one day, pulled a prank on his office partner and said "ugh...April fools???" That's were it all started! Either that, or the first time someone put vaseline or peanut butter on a doorknob. I'm not sure which. :lol:

Squirt1, wrong.

It began as a celebration of the equinox. We learned that in school many years ago.
