April Fools' Day or All
Fools' Day, though not a holiday in its own right, is a day celebrated
in various countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of
hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends,
family members, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on a fool's
errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the stupid.
Traditionally, in some countries, such as New Zealand, the UK,
Australia, South Africa and parts of Canada, the jokes only last until
noon, and someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April
Fool." It is for this reason that newspapers in the U.K. that run
a front page April fool only do so on the first (morning) edition.
Elsewhere, such as in France, Ireland, Italy, South Korea, Japan,
Russia, Portugal, The Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, and the U.S., the
jokes last all day. The earliest recorded association between April 1
and foolishness can be found in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392). Many
writers suggest that the restoration of January 1 as New Year's Day in
the 16th century was responsible for the creation of the holiday, but
this theory does not explain earlier references.

The Taco Liberty Bell was
an April Fool's Day joke played by fast food restaurant chain Taco Bell.
On April 1, 1996, Taco Bell took out a full-page advertisement in seven
leading U.S. newspapers announcing that they had purchased the
Liberty Bell to "reduce the country's debt" and renamed it the "Taco
Liberty Bell". Thousands of people protested before it was revealed at
noon April 1 that the sale was a hoax. White House Press Secretary Mike
McCurry responded that the federal government was also "selling the
Lincoln Memorial to Ford Motor Co. and renaming it the Lincoln-Mercury
Memorial."
