Dreading April Fools Day? Perhaps you should. People have been playing April Fools' pranks for centuries. In fact, the earliest recorded pranks and hoaxes associated with the first day of April go back to the fourteenth century. This year, comedian John Oliver of Last Week Tonight fame urges his fans to take the April Fools’ Day “No Prank Pledge”. Anyone who is excited about April Fools Day is probably a sociopath, he jokes. “We don't need a special holiday to disappoint our loved ones; we do that already by accident all the time!”
