Did you know that the April 1st Tradition in France includes poisson d'avril (translated as April's Fish), which is the attempt to attach a paper fish to an unsuspecting victim's back without being noticed. In Scotland the April Fool's Day is traditionally called Hunt-The-Gowk Day; Gowk mean cuckoo or foolish person in gaelic. And historically in Denmark their tradition of April Fool's Day is actually celebrated on May 1st (although modern Danish society celebrates on April 1st too).
