THE MUSEUM OF HOAXES APRIL FOOL'S DAY GALLERY

Oxymoronically, this is a serious April Fool’s site. For starters, take the April Fool’s Day Quiz to see if you can tell a news hoax from a real news story. On a similar note, the Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Times are faux news stories and press releases. (As an Internet editor, my favorite is number five). For the historically (hysterically?) minded, explore the mysteries of the Origin of April Fool’s Day or check out the Chronological Index of April Fool’s Day Hoaxes, which goes clear back to the year 1582. Finally, the essay, A Few Good Reasons to Hate April Fool’s Day, has some great Fool’s stories that are humorous and/or contain interesting fact-based tidbits.
