Court Rules that the Constitution is Unconstitutional

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day or Most But Not All Fools' Day was a holiday that was once celebrated on April 1, but is now outlawed in most but not all countries. The day was commonly observed by the commission of hoaxes of varying sophistication and other practical jokes played on taxpayers, usually by sending them on a fool's errand, such as to the voting booth in the vain hope that things would get better.

A 35-year study commissioned by UNESCO concluded in 2006 that April Fools' hoaxes cost the world's economies an aggregate of 500 trillion dollars annually in diminished productivity. United Nations Resolution 0401 classified April Fools Day as a "Crime Against Civility," making offenders subject to immediate arrest by Interpol.

Thus, the day is now marked by solemn prayer, reflection, and large donations to UNESCO. In four of the Earth's hemispheres, it is customary to pay homage to the day by visiting little-known Internet bloggers bearing confections of Little Debbie Cakes and suchlike.

By Executive Order, President Barack Obama has designated April 1 this year as "April First 2010." In honor of the occasion, exam proctors are expected to observe a moment of silence.
