My sister has her birthday on April 3rd and this year we would have a surprise party for her, we had invited her friends and done everything she said she wanted for a party. But it turns out that April 1st comes before April 3rd, and on the April 1st I had to play a prank on my mom. I exchanged the WhatsApp photos of my father and sister and the names on my mother's cell phone, it was the perfect trick for her to fool who to talk to. I just forgot about the party... My mom texted "my dad" about the party and my sister found out before the "surprise". The good thing is that she didn't care so much and the party went well, but my mother was extremely angry with what I did, because as the name says, it was supposed to be a surprise!

When I was 16 years old I was in my last year of high school. At that time I really enjoyed watching videos on the youtube with my friends and one of the chanels that we really liked to watch were Caue Moura. Caue Moura channel it’s from a guy named Caue who shows the News and make commentaries about then, how he felt when he first heard, like a reaction channel.
In April 1st me and my friend were watching a video he had just uploaded and the channel. In the video was said that the Isis State were in Rio de Janeiro, in the hill of Turano alistating boys to work for them, and the police had just indentified two boys near to Christ the Redeemer with two backpacks full of dynamite, ready to explode the statue.
We got really scared and tought that it was true. I remember my friend couldn’t stop saying “no way dude” and “are you kidding”.
Later on we discover that the news it was for April fool’s and we started laughing a lot.

Back in 1999, people belived that machinnes would not understand the date format that the new milenium would bring, provoking ACCIDENTALLY a error in all systems arround the world.

Besisdes the new millenium starts in 2001 and not 2000, the also knowed “bug of the millenium” made many pelople, specially in USA, stock food, buy weapons and search for underground shelters, thinking that the coumputers, instead to change their dates to 2000, would change to 1900. Belived this bug would make the planes crash and crisis in the bank system, making all the saves and investments just vanish, threathing the whole global economy. Corporations and govermenet hired specialists to order to “solve” this problem BEFORE happens, spending over US$ 300 bilions on preventives measures, but afterwards, nothing happened. The olny problems was TEMPORALY failures on bus stops in Australia, on radiation equipments  in Japan and websites showing the date 1/1/19100. The episode was not a simple April’s Fool prank, with cases of suicide in many countrys.

The man found in his garden bones, that apparently like be an animal. But he didn't know like those bones are there or how long.
James have 80 years old, he lives alone in our house in California. One day in the morning he went into his garden to plant some flowers and a little tree, then while James was digging, he accidentally found bones, he said " When I saw this, I though :O my god! What do I do now? But I called for the police, so they took the bones.''

Fortunately they found out what the bones belonged to, the bones are from a dinosaur, It name is tyrannosaurus rex is over 60 million years old and they discovered that under  James's Garden there must have been more bones because this local was a dinosaur park.

Maybe james and some neighbors have to move in to keep the excavations can continue and maybe they can find more bones and more dinosaurs.

One of my work friends loves to play pranks. It doesn’t have to be April 1st for him to start with the tricks.
Once, on the eve of the holiday, around 5 p.m, we received a message that the holiday had been canceled by the TJPR. The message contained a news link from the court itself and was marked "redirected". As the news was very clear and seemed safe, we didn’t even think to check the veracity of the information.
However, luckily, someone decided to read the news to find out the reason for the cancellation and was redirected to a prank page. In the end, apparently, our friend created the news on his girlfriend’s cell phone and sent it to him to keep the "redirected" mark.
We all cried the lost holiday and celebrate with the found holiday. Thankfully was just a joke and we all had rest in the holiday.

During the 18th century, Scientists J. Ignatz Roderick and Johann Georg von Eckhart performed one of the greatest scientific trolls of all time, creating false fossils.

In that time fossils of all shapes and sizes were being found around the world. As it was a recent discovery, scientists still did not know, for sure, the conditions that led fossils to form in nature. Therefore, many had very unscientific explanations to address the subject, even suggesting, for example, that fossils had been planted by God to test the faith of humans. One of the defenders of this last thesis apparently was the scientist at the University of Wurzburg, Johann Bartholomeus Adam Beringer.


So deliberately J. Ignatz Roderick and Johann Georg von Eckhart took advantage of Beringer’s beliefs to carry out one of the greatest scientific trolls of all time: they created fake fossils, with the name of God in Hebrew, then buried them for Beringer to find.

Unfortunately, instead of realizing the “prank”, Beringer believed that he had made an incredible discovery and took the fossils for a better analysis. The researcher was so pleased with the fossils that he even published a book promoting his work.

It was April 1st. I had been living away for over a year. That is when I thought, I am going to play tricks on my mother. She hates tattoos, when I asked her why, she told me that she feels in her heart that God does not like it, I thought it was very cute. I already love tattoos, but out of respect for her I have not done it yet. Back to the trick. Based on that context I thought I had take a picture of an arm that looks like mine with a tattoo and send it to her. I quickly went on the internet, found a perfect one, sent it. I was waiting for what she was going to say. Immediately she replied: - this is not your arm. Story Summary My mom knows every little part of me, I couldn't fool her.

When I was in high school I woke up to go to school and my parents weren't at home, so I hadn't talked to anyone until I arrived at school. I saw my friends talking and laughing, so I said “hi” and nobody answered me. I thought they hadn’t heard me, so I said louder and the same thing happened. My first thought was that they were mad at me, but I didn’t know why, and then something really strange happened, the teacher didn’t call my name on the attendance sheet, so I said that I’m at the class, and she just ignored me. I asked my classmate what was going on, and he ignored me like the teacher and my friends had done. I started to pinch myself, thinking maybe I could be dreaming or having a nightmare. After the break, I went back to my class and I got very angry about the situation. It looked like I had died, it never happened to me. I was about to scream with everybody, but I saw a piece of paper that said, “You’re not dead, it’s just April 1st”. And this was the April jokes that traumatized and made me suspect everything on April Fool’s

Five years ago, I discovered a crush on one of my best friends from school. But I’m not usually the “hit on” type, so I used April 1st as a form to discover if he was into me.

On Friday night I sent the following message tensely “So… lately I’ve seen you in a different way… To be honest this year I just saw you like that…”. And he asked what I was talking about and didn't get it until I said out loud “I had a crush on you”. The story is already cringe here, but gets really worse.

He didn't answer me for about a hour, and when he did the message was “Discusting, fuck off it”. And then so that we can still be friends I said sadly “HAHAHA that's a joke, it’s April 1st!!”.

Looks bad, and really is! This story is one of the worst times in my life, but two years later we dated (we spent years in a friendship zone) and he told me his message was a lie too, but he thought I was making fun of him because I already knew he was crazy about me.

Finally a happy ending to my life.

These last years, a lot of fake news was propagated on social media, some of them, amount of people believe. But most of the people who spread this fake news want to defend something that they believe in, even if it is absurd and impossible. They only want to harm those they don't like or disagree with.

This year was no different. A few months ago, I opened my phone and saw a lot of notifications on my what's app group and Facebook, and you do not believe what was the news!! The people were saying that Bolsonaro was stabbed by order of nothing less than Pabblo Vittar. Also, they were saying that Pabblo Vittar would take his place as the president. However, unfortunately, this is the fake news message that I have ever seen in my life, it's so false that even on April first I would not believe in this history.

When I was a teenager, it was common to have some parties with schoolmates.

These parties were usually held at the school so we could get money for the graduation trip.

However, at the party in April, the committee (composed by some students) decided to do a trick with the guests

We sent out invitations to the whole school but for the bully who were always chasing new students we sent out invitations saying it was a costume party.

So on party day only the four school bullies were dressed up at a teenage party.

None of them never went to our class parties again.

It wasn’t april’s fool, but halloween eve in 1938. A radio program was broadcast and causes a widespread panic in the West Coast population of the USA. The mentor’s name was Orson Welles, that later became famous for direct the classic Citizen Kane in 1941. However, in that day, the radio CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System) interrupted the music programmation to report that mars citizens was invading Earth, specifically, Grover's Mill city, in New Jersey state.

Indeed, the whole program was a theatrical plot based on the book " The War of the Worlds" by the british writer Herbert George Wells. Some spectators missed the beginning of the dramatization, so, as "they took the tram going", they thought that all the story was really true.

Nowadays, it's hard to figure that something like that could happen, because we have enough tools to know what's fake and what isn't. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if some people believed that martians are invading Earth by seen the news on Whatsapp's group. Thus, I can't judge those people from 1938's that believed on the radio.

When I was a child I loved watching Spongebob Squarepants. I’d always wanted to taste the Krabby Patty, then my father created his version of the sandwich, but apparently, it wasn’t nothing in common with the show.

Every time my father prepared this sandwich, which contained eggs, mayonnaise and something else. I’d immediately asked what the secret ingredient was, but unfortunately, he never told me until that day. He called me and said “Ok, I’ll tell you the secret ingredient” and he started to shake the sandwich and something started to chirp like a bird. At first I was a little suspicious, like “What is it?”. He continued to shake the sandwich and that thing was chirping again. I almost believed it with a expression of fear and wide eyes.

Consequently, my mom said “Stop that! Hurry up and show what it is”. After that my father took a bird toy from his pocket and finally said the secret ingredient of his sandwich: black pepper. It was on April 1st.

HURRICANE ALERT IN BRAZIL

These two years have not been easy because of the pandemic. We need good news to have hope.
However, SIMEPAR (Paraná Environmental Technology and Monitoring System) do not think like that.

Three months ago, reading the news, I found the following release:
"A hurricane is gaining strength off the coast of Brazil. The system is expected to reach from the coast to the west of the country. Northern states will be hit too. The authorities recomend that everyone stay at home until the passage of the system, which was baptized as a HOLIDAY."

Innocently, I belived. I thought: it would be a disaster in our country, that is not prepared for hurricanes. More problems for our nation!!

Quickly, the SIMEPAR issued a note, because a lot of people were scared and requesting more details.

Happily, it was only a trick of April Fool's Day.
Sincerely, I'm good humored, but joke has limit!

A few years ago, something funny happened but at the same time worrying about sending lies and fake news.

On April 1st, a cousin sent a print of a false news to a family group, the news said that heavy hailstorms were arriving in Paraná and the possibility of a hurricane, something never seen before in Brazil and that it was for people beware.

At first no one answered, as it was a day with many tasks at work, I ended up forgetting the news sent and did not look again at the whatsapp group.

Later, at the end of the day, several messages in the group about the subject, until an aunt said that she had already called the mason to install wooden panels in her house and that she was seeing the price of wooden sheets for buy, she questioned that she had been watching the TV news all day and had not seen anything being said about it, so she was confused.

So, I immediately told her that it was a joke and that it was April 1st, she was very angry and that she was worried all day for nothing.

In the end it was funny, and she was told to be more careful and not believe everything she sees on the internet.

Lost everything! The drama of Alien Bilu living out of favor in Varginha

# data[].attributes.body
The famous Alien Bilu has fallen victim to an addiction and is now living in Brazil.

“Pursue knowledge”, said Bilu to humanity. Those words greatly inspired a generation of Brazilians, but  it unfortunately seems he did not follow his own advice. Our staff found out that our favorite alien got into a lot of trouble on his native planet, resulting in his banishment from there. Locals stated that Bilu had fallen addicted to gambling and lost all his possessions, then he proceeded to rob a bank only to be caught and sent to Brazil as a punishment. He is living in Varginha with the help of another Alien that has properties there.

Our team tried to contact him but he refused to answer us, ominously threatening us with a knife. We sincerely hope for his recovery.

UPDATE: After a long time of reflection, Bilu has finally decided to leave earth and become a better alien. According to locals, his last speech was: “Live a life you won’t regret.”

When I was in high school, I wanted to have a party at my house. So on April 1st, I told my mom, but she didn't like the idea at all. Then I said it was a lie and that I was kidding her. However, the truth was, I really wanted to have the party. Therefore, I waited until one day that my parents were not home and invited everyone in my class.

At the party, we decided to make churros and nobody knew how to do it, and I could not ask my mother because she did not know about the party.  So we improvised and got a recipe from the internet, but the churro-making device wasn't good. We managed to make the churros with great difficulty, but it did not turn out, as we wanted. It was really cool and everyone enjoyed it as we celebrated our last year.

In the end, I cleaned up all the mess in my home and my mom never found out that this party happened there.

I always used April 1 to throw some ideas at my mom and find out what she thinks about some subjects. It's a good strategy for teenagers.

Once my friend Tiago told me a story that make me laugh a lot. In the end of the school year, Tiago and his friends decided to make something very unusual. They had already passed the school exams and they wanted to celebrate. So Tiago decided to make a barbecue in the classroom. They took a grill, coal, meet and soda to the school, and keep this things hidden in a room that nobody used. When the most of the students have already gone they light up the grill and starting to make the barbecue. The room was full of smoke and the school guard saw that and tought that the room was on fire, than he got there with a fire extinguisher and saw Tiago and his friends making a barbecue he got shocked. They tought that maybe they would be expeled from school, but the guard started to laugh and even ate some pieces of steak and didn't tell the principal, so they didn't get trouble. When he told me this I really believed him and get really impressed with his audacity. When suddenly he sad laughing "APRIL FOOLS".
