- La tradición del April Fool's Day surgió cuando algunas personas seguían celebrando el Año Nuevo el 1 de abril, y otras les gastaban bromas.
- Hasta mediados del siglo XVI, Francia celebraba el Año Nuevo el 1 de abril.
- Las nuevas tecnologías permiten gastar bromas mediante mensajes falsos, por ejemplo sobre virus informáticos o haciéndose pasar por un banco que pide datos personales.
- La foto del tiburón que atacaba un helicóptero en agosto de 2001 era falsa.
- National Geographic no fue responsable de la broma: encontró a los responsables de crear la imagen compuesta.
- Gramática: "hadn't cooked" es un pasado perfecto negativo; "whose" es un relativo posesivo que une frases con su posesivo.
