Okay I hate to barge in on your little 'look people are just as stupid as Americans' club you got going here but, he jut said one thing..which could of quite possible been a joke, in fact it probably was. it's April 2nd here, has been for a while, doesn't mean I don't know its still April 1st other places.

I don't even live in Europe, and we say the date 2nd of April, like it should be. Not April 2nd. 2/4/11, that is how the date is written, you grow larger as you go across, 2nd day, 4th month 11th year. not 4/2/11, 4th month of the 2nd day...wtf

Rofl...brb buying legos...

It would be better if it were April Fool's there still so people had something to fall back on when asked why they are getting in a fight over how to write down dates.

[Zehroh]

Yeah, its like earlier when Europeans where making april fools jokes and people in American were bitching about how it was still March 31st where they were

Oh well, let them be. Think some can't handle it.

Shorthand dates, where the US generally uses MM/DD/YY, which may be "April 2nd 2011". As far as I know, most other countries sort shorthand dates in order of magnitude, as in DD/MM/YY, which would in fact be "2nd of April 2011".

Either is technically correct, but the latter is (I believe) more widely used.

The US is a bit funny like that - the original name of "aluminium" was in fact "aluminum". To fit with the naming "scheme" of other elements discovered around the same time, the name was changed to "aluminium". Oddly enough, it was named "aluminum" by a British chemist, not an American. Aside from the US and Canada, I believe no other country still uses the term "aluminum" primarily.

But again, either is technically correct.

Anyway, lets get back to my joke.. I mean SERIOUS TOPIC!!!!

This wont help u now !!

Time zones: proof that the average European is just as dumb as the average American, despite what they might think.

April fools ends at 12 pm, so even in America it would have been ended...

And yes. Alot of people seem to of forgotten about the fact that april fools day is over after 12pm Noon, reguardless of which country you're in. (still abiding by time zones of course).

[RoboA]

I would like to make it very clear that europe is not a country, its a continent with many countries
So please dont do the "europeans" just as i dont do "americans" unless its meant as a stereotype joke

[rantus]

I'm sure you realize that it's still April 1st in the Americas.

No doubt after 12 o'clock though

Is April fools day even recognized in Europe?

Anyway, lets get back to my joke.. I mean SERIOUS TOPIC!!!!

April Fool’s Day first occurred in 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII changed the Christian world from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. When the calendar was changed, this change had the effect of changing the date of the New Year to January 1st. During that era, the celebration of the New Year corresponded with the first week of spring throughout the out most of Europe. The first of April was then the day of celebration of the New Year.
When the calendar was changed, there was no longer a reason for celebrating the day. Since many didn’t readily accept the calendar change, they were called fools, and this is the origin of where did April Fools Day come from. Many tricks were played on the ones that still clung to the old calendar, and thus this is the answer to where did April Fools day come from.

France accepted the calendar change in 1582, when the Pope sent the decree. Many people didn’t accept the change, however, and still celebrated April 1st as the New Year. As such, those who embraced the new calendar began to ridicule those people, calling them “traditionalists.” Over the next few years, people began to play tricks on the traditionalists on April 1. They would send invitations to non-existent parties and send them on “fools” errands and try to convince them of things that were untrue.

The best known prank in France that carried forward in history was the tying of a fish to someone’s back and then waiting until they found it. Once it was discovered, the person was called a Poisson D’Avril, meaning April Fish. The original prank was performed with a dead fish but it has been replaced with a paper one today. This practice carried over not only in France, but also the French speaking parts of Canada.
The pranks and tricks were well entrenched by 1752 when England finally accepted the Gregorian calendar. Most of Europe had incorporated pranks and tricks into their observance practices for April Fools Day and this caught on worldwide. The widespread influence of England helped to spread the practice even further.

So try using the net for something other than ignorant spam maybe you can learn something, dare I say it..go on I hear you say.. typical ignorant/arrogant (delete as applicable if needed) American.

Calling the average European dumb is considered nice? Cheers for the laugh btw about 10 of you went nuts on an English lad for saying its April second ha

The average person - American, Canadian, European, Asian, whatever - is dumb.
Singling out one culture is like saying 'the average fire is hot'. It's redundant, not racist.

[JayJay09]

I hate how EU like to comment that it must be real because it's April 2nd over there when the company is in California and under Pacific time zone.

Awh, you even bother to hate that? Poor you :/.

So if a person acts like a moron, it's redundant to call him one?

Just quoting your avatar.

Why on earth do you hate that we say 2nd april instead of april 2nd? If you REALLY hate that, you should close your computer and maybe go for a walk and see what goes on outside instead of hating extremely no mattering stuff like this.

Its more about the numbers, so instead of 2.4.2011 like im used to , US says 4/2/2011, whaa?
