1760 England : " first of April some do say, is set apart fort All Fool's Day.  But why the people call it so, nor they themselves do know."

That kind of sums it up.  For no particular reason we play pranks and spread false rumors once a year for the fun of it.  As a child this is a great day.  You can play a prank on absolutely anyone (including a grown up) and actually get a laugh instead of a scolding.  It's a good idea.

My favorite definition of a fool was in the Urban Dictionary : A clumsy or stupid person who is pitied by Mr. T.

Some good quotes referring to fools:

Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

William Shakespeare

A fool and his money are soon elected.

Will Rogers

The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.

Niccolo Machiavelli
