april fools day dates from the introduction of the gregorian calendar
in the 16th century, and invovled moving the start of the year from
apr 1 to jan 1
in france, a posson d'avril is a rather nice phrase for a person who
is subject of one of these (supposed harmless) pranks - obviously they
hadn't heard of the IRS:-)
of course,
IPv5 is alive
