Dude thats so American of you lol.
As far as I know the "celebration" was atleast being celebrated, in some form, somewhere in europe well before it got to the states.
Though the actual origins are unsure. Some say it has connections with when the Gregorian calender was taken up and made official by the Pope. There are other Christian/Hebrew connections as well. So I rpesume a lot of countries where the Christian (or related) faith has a majority will see people achknowledging the day.
There are other origins/connections as well eg France had the first day of the year to be April the 1st before it was changed by King Charles the IX.
Wooohoo Wikipaedia does it again!!
Anyways YES the UK does do April Fools day. _________________ Darkfire

Yep but no one really makes much effort, but i guess its pretty international really. So far I've been disappointed does anybody know the real outcome of Conlicktor C _________________ "Although the constant shadow of certain death looms over everyday, the pleasures and joys of life can be so fine and deeply affecting that the heart is nearly stilled by astonishment" - Dean R Koontz |
