Firkin Factoid...

April Fools' Day is also called Huntingowk Day or Gowkie Day in Scotland, because an April Fool is called a gowk.  In England it's often referred to "All Fools Day" or "April Noddy Day" because in England a fool is referred to as a 'noddy.' But, all of these names originate from the "Feast of Fools" which was a popular medieval festival during which social roles were reversed and rules were deliberately broken. The men would dress up as women, eat and gamble at the altar, burn old leather sandals in the censors and engage in other unthinkable activities normally.  The Feast of Fools was really popular in France, where April Fools' Day is widely observed.
