The world today, April 1st, is celebrating Hoax Day when people announce fake news to make people laugh or put them in a funny situation.
The prank is called an April Fool's joke, and the prankster shouts "April Fool's Day" at the moment the prank is announced.
In some countries, such as Great Britain, Australia and South Africa, pranks are played only until noon, and whoever pulls them after noon is called an April Fool. In many other countries, jokes are made throughout the day.
Among the famous jokes is the one on the BBC from 1957. That British television network then announced that the Swiss were picking spaghetti from a tree. The report said that the pest "spaghetti weevil" had finally been eradicated.
A large number of viewers contacted the editorial office of that television to find out about the possibility of growing their own spaghetti trees.
A well-known joke was the invention of hamburgers for left-handed people. In 1998, Burger King from the US released an advertisement for left-handed hamburgers that were made so that the contents oozed from the right side.
On April 1, the commentator of the American television network NBC talked about the record yield of pickles, while the Italian channel TG2 announced that oil had been found on Mars, and in this regard, the photo material of the American space agency NASA was shown.
Some events that actually happened on April 1 are often met with disbelief. In 1979, Iran declared April 1 as Republic Day. To this day, many do not believe that it is an actual holiday.
Medical researches generally believe that laughter is a good therapy.
