April 1st

Why are we the only country in the world that is jacked up enough to have a holiday based on lying to people? I mean, what *is* April Fool's Day? When you're a kid, it's a great way to pull pranks and get away with them. As an adult, it is nothing more than a day designed to piss me off. I'd love to read the newspaper or watch TV without having to second-guess every damn news article.
