April Fools 2013

[Jango]

The Sonic 4 (Ep1 & Ep2) microsite - http://www.sonicthehedgehog4.com/ - no longer works. It has been taken down because Sonic Team have no intention of releasing anymore episodes of Sonic 4.  

 

Do you beLIEve me?

 

 

Serious talk, it was deactivated days ago, not today.

 

I wonder if SEGA will post another fake trailer on their blog like 'SEGA Bass Fishing of the Dead' last year. Maybe they will finally release a teaser trailer for Big's survival horror game ^^

[gato]

I figured they'd show up somewhere today, I figured!

 

 

It's funny because they actually made the effort of putting them on the game and make them playable.

Komodin is Komo-done; now, there is only Komodos! 

 

I call you that even when you're Komodin.

[Gabz Girl]

April Fools is dumb and I'm not taking part this year.

Awww, you're so funny I don't believe you. =P

April Fool's Day was derived from how the ancient Norse had a day in honor of their Mischief god Loki on April 1st.

Precursors of April Fools' Day include the Roman festival of Hilaria, held March 25,[2] and the Medieval Feast of Fools, held December 28,[3] still a day on which pranks are played in Spanish-speaking countries.

In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392), the "Nun's Priest's Tale" is set Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two.[4] Modern scholars believe that there is a copying error in the extant manuscripts and that Chaucer actually wrote, Syn March was gon.[5] Thus, the passage originally meant 32 days after April, i.e. May 2,[6] the anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia, which took place in 1381. Readers apparently misunderstood this line to mean "March 32", i.e. April 1.[7] In Chaucer's tale, the vain cock Chauntecleer is tricked by a fox.

In 1508, French poet Eloy d'Amerval referred to a poisson d’avril (April fool, literally "April fish"), a possible reference to the holiday.[8] In 1539, Flemish poet Eduard de Dene wrote of a nobleman who sent his servants on foolish errands on April 1.[6] In 1686, John Aubrey referred to the holiday as "Fooles holy day", the first British reference.[6] On April 1, 1698, several people were tricked into going to the Tower of London to "see the Lions washed".[6]

In the Middle Ages, up until the late 18th century, New Year's Day was celebrated on March 25 (Feast of the Annunciation) in most European towns.[9] In some areas of France, New Year's was a week-long holiday ending on April 1.[2][3] Many writers suggest that April Fools originated because those who celebrated on January 1 made fun of those who celebrated on other dates.[2] The use of January 1 as New Year's Day was common in France by the mid-16th century,[6] and this date was adopted officially in 1564 by the Edict of Roussillon.

A study in the 1950s, by folklorists Iona and Peter Opie, found that in the UK and those countries whose traditions derived from there, the joking ceased at midday.[10] But this practice appears to have lapsed in more recent years.
