It made me curios and decided to do a little research myself.<BR/><BR/>Apparently the reason behind "April Fish" is because a young naive fish is easily caught. Therefore, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke. <BR/><BR/>Anyways... I really adore your blog. Would love to switch link with you if that's ok. =)<BR/><BR/>eLLy*ClickClockCultureeLLy*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10015603762891610066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28014781.post-59342029379255096282009-04-02T06:53:00.000-07:002009-04-02T06:53:00.000-07:00I forgot :(I forgot :(Di Overtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739747135963729335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28014781.post-16327907834640659882009-04-02T03:22:00.000-07:002009-04-02T03:22:00.000-07:00I have lived in Paris for the past 11 years.
