Merry April Fool's Open Thread Monday!

 

Why is there April Fool's day?  Apparently, no one really knows.

The totally legit, not-pulling-your-leg answer to the origin of April Fools’ Day is: Nobody really knows. April Fools’ Day is apparently an ancient enough tradition that the earliest recorded mentions, including the following excerpt from a 1708 letter to Britain’s Apollo magazine, ask the same question we do: “Whence proceeds the custom of making April Fools?”

There is some more non-scholarly information at the link.

But this is an open thread so we don't have to pay any attention to any of that, do we?

This is Monday, the first of April, 2024! That ought to make any one feel the tug on their leg!
