March 32nd!

Happy April Fools' Day, ye socks!

In preparation for this, one of my favorite days because of the shenanigans that generally ensue, I did a little research on the orgins of this semi-holiday.

Turns out there's not a simple answer.

There are TONS of theories about how all this foolery got started.

The earliest reference I was able to find was in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. If you've forgotten the lessons learned in Mrs. Duncan's classroom oh-so-many years ago, the nun tells of a foolish chanticleer and with tongue in cheek specifies it took place on March 32nd.

If you can do any better than that, I'd like to know! (No foolin'!)
