While I’d be a true fool to compete with Google or YouTube in the realm of playing April Fool’s Day jokes, I will point out some interesting trivia about the springtime tradition; believe at your own risk.

• How did April Fool’s Day get its name?
• Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon. If you play a trick on someone after this time you are the April Fool. (source)
• If you were born on April Fool’s Day what does it mean?
• In 1998, Burger King ran an ad in USA Today, saying that people could get a Whopper for left-handed people whose condiments were designed to drip out of the right side. Not only did customers order the new burgers, but some specifically requested the “old”, right-handed burger. (source)
• How did April Fool’s Day evolve?
• The frequency of April Fools’ hoaxes sometimes makes people doubt real news stories released on April 1st. (source)

I’ve been struggling to come up with a good April Fools’ Day post, but it occurred to me that just about every blog post to no.stupid.answers is a joke (at least, every Wednesday is).

Instead I will share a series of serious questions on a very important topic that must be spread:

• Who is Hannah Montana’s boyfriend?
• Who is Hannah Montana’s neighbor?
• Where does Hannah Montana live?
• Who is Hannah Montana’s sister?
• Where does Hannah Montana shop?
• What are opinions of the Hannah Montana TV show?
• Are there auditions for Hannah Montana?
• Why is Elmo’s costume red?

Ah, well. Old habits die hard.
