'''April Fools' Day''' is an annual custom on 1 April consisting of practical jokes and hoaxes.

== History ==
According to [[Lisa]], on April 1, 1022, pagans were peacefully celebrating the New Year in honor of [[Baal]] when they were interrupted by settlers who attempted to play pranks on them. This event was considered to be the origin of April Fools' Day.<ref name="So">"[[So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show]]"</ref>

One of [[Bart]]'s pranks, in revenge for [[Homer]]'s pranks, involved shaking up a beer in a paint shaker. This resulted in a massive explosion, and Homer was severely injured and rushed to the hospital.<ref name="So"/>
