So in the end, most of YOU, besides Cindy, believe in me wanting to quit my current job. Thanks for believing, April Fools!!!Here's some versions of the origins of April Fool's Day
=========================================-Noah mistakenly sent a dove out to find dry land after the flood begin to recede on 1st Apri.l
-the change in the Gregorian calendar, in which under the old calendar New Year's Day was celebrated in late March. But because this occassionally coincided with Easter, church officials back then moved New Year's Day to April 1st. But when the Gregorian calendar was officially adopted in 1582, New Year's Day changed from 1st April to 1st January. Some people forgot the change, and continued to make their New Year's Day visits on 1st April. Others paid mock visits to friends and neighbours shouting "April Fool" to those who took them seriously.

versionsBelow are some well-known hoaxes
===========================-Spaghetti trees: The BBC television programme Panorama ran a famous hoax in 1957, showing the Swiss harvesting spaghetti from trees. A large number of people contacted the BBC wanting to know how to cultivate their own spaghetti trees.
-Tower of Pisa: The Dutch television news reported once in the 1950s that the Tower of Pisa had fallen. Many shocked and even mourning people contacted the station.
-SARS Infects Hong Kong: In 2003 it was rumored that many people in Hong Kong had become infected with SARS, that all immigration ports would be closed to quarantine the region, and that Tung Chee Hwa, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong at that time, had resigned. Hong Kong supermarkets were immediately overwhelmed by panicked shoppers. The Hong Kong government held a press conference to deny the rumor. The rumor, which was intended as an April Fool's prank, was started by a student by imitating the design of Ming Pao newspaper website. He was charged for this incident.
