And We All Know
The book is almost always better than the movie.
You Are a Book |
 You are a deliberate thinker. You don't like to gloss over anything, and details matter to you. When times get tough, you get philosophical. You never forget the meaning of life. If you're facing a problem, getting away for a couple days always helps you clear your mind. You always consider the past, present, and future. You believe every little event shapes your life. |

April Fool's Day Quotes & Trivia
From the
archives:
April 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four. - Mark Twain
Isn't it appropriate that the month of the tax begins with April Fool's Day and ends with cries of "May Day!"? - Author Unknown
Here cometh April again, and as far as I can see the world hath more fools in it than ever. - Charles Lamb
Many trace the origins of April Fools' Day back to 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII adopted the Gregorian Calendar, effectively moving New Year's Day from the end of March to 1 January.
Though the change was widely publicized, some people didn't get the memo, while others simply didn't want to transition to the new calendar, so they continued to ring in the New Year at the end of March. Those who didn't make the change were mocked for their folly and called "April Fools".
