A.K.A. Happy April Fish!!
Today in the US we celebrate April Fools Day, but across the pond many countries celebrate their own version of Poisson D'Avril. In France, people try to hook a cardboard fish on the back of an unsuspecting friend/stranger (better than being smacked in the face with a fish which is how the tradition started). While this holiday has been around for centuries, no one knows for sure how it started. Some say it is linked to Jesus who is often represented as a fish in early Christian times while other say that it is related to the sign of Pisces.
