"The history of April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day is uncertain, but the current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (new year's week) to January 1.

Communication traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years later. Still others, who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued to celebrate on the last day of the former celebration, April 1.

These people were labeled "fools" by the general populace, were subject to ridicule and sent on "fool errands," sent invitations to nonexistent parties and had other practical jokes played upon them. The butts of these pranks became known as a "poisson d'avril" or "April fish" because a young naive fish is easily caught. In addition, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke.

This harassment evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continue on the first day of April. This tradition eventually spread elsewhere like to Britain and Scotland in the 18th century and was introduced to the American colonies by the English and the French. Because of this spread to other countries, April Fool's Day has taken on an international flavor with each country celebrating the holiday in its own way.

In Scotland, for instance, April Fool's Day is devoted to spoofs involving the buttocks and as such is called Taily Day. The butts of these jokes are known as April 'Gowk', another name for ****oo bird. The origins of the "Kick Me" sign can be traced back to the Scottish observance.

In England, jokes are played only in the morning. Fools are called 'gobs' or 'gobby' and the victim of a joke is called a 'noodle.' It was considered back luck to play a practical joke on someone after noon.

In Rome, the holiday is known as Festival of Hilaria, celebrating the resurrection of the god Attis, is on March 25 and is also referred to as "Roman Laughing Day."

In Portugal, April Fool's Day falls on the Sunday and Monday before lent. In this celebration, many people throw flour at their friends.

The Huli Festival is celebrated on March 31 in India. People play jokes on one another and smear colors on one another celebrating the arrival of Spring."
 
There's a saying/factual claim that no two countries with a McDonald's in their borders have ever been in conflict with each other before. It did hold truth until 2008 when Russia attacked Georgia I believe but if that didn't end up happening it most definitely was broken when Russia invaded Ukraine most recently
 
In the dark knight , two faces coin flips follow a 50/50 sequence

In the final act of The Dark Knight Two-Face goes on a killing spree, deciding whether or not to kill his targets based on the flip of a coin. However, it wasn't until recently that I noticed how the outcome of the coin flips follows a pattern of live/die/live/die until the final scene:

Heads - The Joker is spared in the hospital.
Tails - Wuertz is killed in the bar.
Heads - Sal Maroni is spared.
Tails - Maroni's driver is killed.
Heads - Ramirez is spared after Two-Face forces her to kill Gordon's family.
Tails - Batman is shot.
Heads - Two-Face doesn't kill himself.

Now, based on the sequence so far, we should assume that the next outcome would, of course, be tails - this would result in the death of Gordon's son. This is what we're anticipating based on that haunting orchestral score as the finale of the film descends into tragedy. It's only when Batman intervenes, stopping Harvey and saving Gordon's son, that the coin flip showsheads for a second time in a row, breaking the chain and ending the nightmare.

-Blood flow in a man body is more even than a woman's body. In females, blood flows more around the core & the baby making zones, which explains why women's hands and feet get colder than men.

Guys have a bulge of the urethra at the tip of the penis, called the navicular fossa, that causes the urine to spin and make a straight stream while girls don't and end up with a less organized stream of pee.
