THE SIMPLE TOOTH FOOLISH FACTS ABOUT APRIL!
It started as a humble British holiday, first celebrated on April 1, 1700. Today, April Fools’ Day is a publicly known opportunity for anyone — from your next-door neighbor to the world’s most influential figures and groups — to play jokes and pranks on each other. That’s why, instead of “fun facts,” we thought we’d share “foolish facts” on some of our favorite April Fools’ pranks played out in history! 1905: AMERICA’S GOLD IS GONE! Decades before Bond villain Goldfinger had aspirations to steal America’s gold, others had the same idea — but only in their imaginations. On April 1, 1905, a German newspaper published a story about thieves who had dug a tunnel beneath the U.S. Federal Treasury in Washington, D.C. and had stolen America’s silver and gold. The newspaper said American
robber barons had organized the heist, and burglars had dug tunnels for three years and made off with over $268 million. It also described how U.S. authorities were trying to hunt them down and were publicly covering up the fact the country had been robbed. As it turns out, sensational news — even when fake — spreads like wildfire! Then everyone found out it was an April Fools’ Day prank by the newspaper’s New York correspondent. 1957: BBC’S SPAGHETTI HARVEST HOAX On April 1, BBC featured a fake documentary showing women carefully plucking spaghetti from trees and laying it in the sun to dry. Narrated by the distinguished broadcaster Richard Dimbleby, the short film featured a family from Ticino in Switzerland carrying out their annual spaghetti harvest. Unfortunately,
not everyone was amused — yet, many others wondered where they could purchase their own spaghetti bush! 2019: THE COUNTRY OF AUSTRALIA REVEALS LEOPARD PRINT KOALAS The official Twitter account of Australia released an impressively edited picture of a koala with leopard print on its fur. Their tweet read: “It’s a little-known fact that some #koala joeys are born with leopard print fur. We don’t yet know why only certain joeys are blessed with such incredible fashion sense, but we’re sure little April here is the envy of her friends.” We wish we were as cute and fashionable as these leopard print koalas, too … even if they only exist in our minds!
