In the UK April's Fools is supposed to happen before 12 noon. Not sure why (idc, lol) and some people ignore it or don't even know. But there is a deadline.

[...] In German "Korn" = grain

For me, Korn = noisy rock band, lol.

A study in 2009 randomly selecting people with beards, mustaches, and clean-shaven found that mustached individuals made 8.2 % more money than the bearded and 4.3 % more than cleanshaven. The study was funded by the American Mustache Institute.

One of the first hoaxes of the Soviet media was published in the newspaper Izvestia in 1988. Journalists delighted soccer fans, because, according to the information provided, Diego Maradona decided to move to Spartak for only 6 million dollars. The public discussed this joke for a long time, and foreign publications even duplicated the news on their pages - after all, Soviet newspapers at that time, no one could suspect in frivolity.

Wow, we had one too. Brief, powerful with a lot of rain and lightning. The lightning kept on coming long after the thunder and rain was gone. We call this "Wetterleuchten"

How do you call this phenomenon?

"Гроза" (Groza )))

Are you fooling me?
So in the UK April 1st already ends 12 noon and not 12 at night? That is even weirder than our daylight savings time switch

Joking ...

I actually hate daylight savings ... there is always THAT ONE clock or watch that is too old and has to be changed manually ... if you do not forget to. lol

For me, Korn = noisy rock band, lol.

Where I live, a KORN is also

We have different pronunciations of it, though, I believe.

English corn /kɔːn/
German Korn /kɔrn/
Swedish korn /kʰuːɳ/

The Hamburg MJ Musical is currently looking for kids to play Marlon and Michael. Wow! I can imagine they will have lots of applications ....

Seriously, that is the tradition. Like I said, I think a lot of people don't know about it or just plain ignore it but it is supposed to end at 12 noon. If you do it later than that then YOU are the April Fool. Apparently!

I don't know if it's a UK thing or a European-wide thing (the ending at 12 noon bit, not April Fool's generally, lol)

Couldn't be bothered to read this whole thing but this bit is relevant:

"The team at Slingo said: “This rule has a range of theories, including the idea that the day honours the spirit of Folly, a force believed to be very powerful.

“Because of this, the day needs to be contained within some sort of limit to avoid outright chaos.

“Another potential explanation is that people ‘wise up throughout the day’, whereas in the morning people are more susceptible and gullible.”

This is why April Fools' Day jokes stop at 12pm and how the tradition started

What is April Fools' Day? It always lands on April 1 and this is why pranks stop at 12pm plus how the tradition started.

I want my hour back and I want it NOW!

I actually hate daylight savings ... there is always THAT ONE clock or watch that is too old and has to be changed manually ... if you do not forget to. lol

Or the boiler timer is forgotten about and then it goes mad with the heating coming and going at the wrong time!

Korn must love it when they tour Germany, lol.

Oh, that's great. I hope you do get to see it. Staying with friends and seeing the musical, how cool is that? And you've got plenty of time to plan and save and get madly excited.

LOLOL The whole fandom is arguing about and discussing how and what and who should go into the MJ movie, and that the time of a biopic is too limited (which is a fair argument) .... and then they include Andy Warhol???

Ok, Hildegard goes next level! She collaborated with an Uilleann piper and whistle player (Aaron Dolan)

Why is this sooo beautiful?

Oh dear, was on a mission but am now derailing myself with Northumbrian pipes.

I can only find two tweets on this. Am now beginning to wonder if it's a #@*&% April Fool's. Which would be hilarious but also really bloody annoying, lol.
