Happy April Fool’s Day!
And consider yourself “fished”!
Le poisson d’avril, or literally “the April fish,” is a time-honored French tradition on April first–I remember days in French class making construction paper fish to tape to people’s backs very fondly. Wikipedia actually has a pretty good write-up about it (though you may have to translate the page); it’s basically considered a classic April Fool’s prank. The actual reason behind it is a little obscure, but then again, maybe that’s the whole point of April Fool’s Day. 😉
