This week we’ll be celebrating April Fools Day. Come along with Tidbits as we play some pranks!

THE ORIGIN OF APRIL FOOLS• No one is really sure how April Fools Day came about.

The traditional explanation is that it started in 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII ordered that the Gregorian calendar replace the old Julian calendar, which moved the first day of the new year to January 1st instead of April 1st. Those who still celebrated the new year on April 1st were ridiculed as fools. The problem with this explanation is that April Fools Day was already being celebrated when the calendars were switched over.

• Joseph Boskin, a professor of history at Boston University, explained that April Fools began during the reign of Constantine, when a group of court jesters told the Roman emperor that they could run the empire better than he could. Constantine allowed a jester to be king for one day. The jester passed an edict calling for absurdity on that day, and the custom became an annual event. The Associated Press ran this story in many newspapers in 1983. There was only one catch: Boskin made the whole thing up. It took a couple of weeks for the AP to realize that they’d been victims of an April Fools joke themselves.

Hotel at the time. When he was shown to the bathroom, Frank was dismayed to see that all the towels, as well as the soap, came from his hotel. At dinner, the silverware, plates, and napkins also bore the stamp of the Algonquin. Benchley had secretly arranged to “borrow” a truck load of Algonquin property for the evening.

• James Thurber’s mother was a practical joker. One day she was to meet an old friend that she hadn’t seen in thirty years. By prearrangement, Mrs. Thurber was to wear a red rose so her friend could recognize her at the train station. Mrs. Thurber arrived early, and spotted a very old woman sleeping on a bench. She quietly pinned the rose on the slumbering form and enjoyed the scene when her friend showed up, looked at the sleeping woman incredulously, and woke her up saying, “Why, Mame Thurber, how are you? You’re looking just fine!”

• Author Kathleen Norris once saw in a store window that her friend Frank Sullivan was coming up behind her. She whirled about suddenly and cried at the top of her lungs, “Not one penny more! You and your family have had all the money you’ll ever get out of me! You’ve bled me white!” A crowd started to gather. Her voice grew louder. “You’ve spent it all on drink rather than on your sick wife! I’ve given you everything I have— and still you hound me for more!” Sullivan fled.

• At the Walt Disney studios, one artist boasted without ceasing about his new custom-built car and insisted everyone come out to admire it. Later, while he was working, his cohorts dismantled a wheelbarrow and reassembled it in his back seat, then filled it with water. It took the guy two hours just to dip the water out without wetting his fine upholstery.

• Newspaper humorist John Medbury and his wife liked to throw extraordinary dinner parties. At one, half of the invitations said the dinner was to be very formal, and half said dress was to be informal. Half the guests showed up wearing tuxes and gowns and

Continued from page 1

the other half arrived wearing t-shirts and shorts. • Ben Franklin once entered an inn and found every

seat next to the fire already occupied. He asked the innkeeper if he had any oysters, and the reply was yes. “Take a bucket of them out to the stable and feed them to my horse,” Franklin said. Everyone seated at the fire went out to see a horse eat oysters. When they came back in to say the horse refused to eat oysters, they found Ben seated at the prime position next to the flames. “Then bring the oysters in here and roast them for my supper!” he said.

• Sportswriter Bill Hanna was walking down the street when he ran into fellow reporter Bill Phelon. Hanna remarked on how nice it was to run into his old friend, but mentioned he was looking ill. They parted company. Hanna walked a half a block farther when Phelon again approached him with surprise, saying how long it had been since they’d seen each other and how ill Hanna was looking. “But I just ran into you a moment ago,” cried Hanna. “Impossible!” replied Phelon and wandered off. A block further, here came Phelon, rushing to Hanna to pump his hand and mention how ill he was looking. “Please tell me you just saw me a few minutes ago!” hollered Hanna, which of course was denied by Phelon. Hanna hailed a taxi and took himself to the hospital.

• On April Fools’ Day shortly before Mt. St. Helens erupted, a Massachusetts TV producer thought it would be funny to air the report that a local non-volcanic ski mountain was also erupting. Police were swamped with calls. The station apologized for the prank and the producer was fired.

PERFECT PRANKS• A newspaper called “The Realist” once printed a

prominently placed correction in its paper reading, “Our thanks to Jean Raymond for pointing out an error in last month’s issue in the article on ways to differentiate between mushrooms and toadstools. The two headings unfortunately got transposed. The heading ‘Edible Mushrooms’ should have read ‘Poisonous Toadstools’ and the heading ‘Poisonous Toadstools’ should have read ‘Edible Mushrooms.’ We apologize to our readers for any confusion this may have caused.”

• A new plaque was to be unveiled at City Hall in St. George, British Columbia. Photographer Peter Duffy was to cover the event, which bored him. To liven things up, he snuck to the scene early and taped a large poster of a nude over the veiled plaque. When it was unveiled, the crowd was stunned, the mayor was apoplectic, and the photographer was fired.

• When it comes to college pranks, Caltech holds all honors. One night students went into the faculty parking lot and painted over all the parking stripes

as well as the names designating ownership of each space. Then they repainted them, making each space just a little larger, carefully arranged to totally erase the private parking space of an unpopular administrator.

• When Caltech freshman Chuck Conner left for a weekend, his dorm mates plastered over the door to his room and even moved a light fixture to the blank wall. When he returned and asked his friends what happened to his room, they all pretended not to recognize him.

• College students irritated with Dean William Bush Baer at New York University submitted his obituary to the New York Times and it was run on May 9, 1942. Baer arrived at work the next day to find the flags at half-staff and the choir singing dirges in the chapel. A retraction was in the paper the following day.

to America and settled in New Jersey, where he went by the name of Sam Adams. In 1904, Adams got a job working for a company that produced dyes.

• It was well known among the employees that a certain deep blue dye would cause uncontrollable sneezing when inhaled, and this was the source of much consternation for the owners of the company, and much amusement for the employees. Adams figured out how to extract the sneeze-inducing derivative from the dye, called dianisidine. When he tested the powder out by blowing it into the faces of a marching band during a parade, it disrupted their performance. He distributed small vials of the powder to his friends, and the demand was so large that he quit his job and went into business marketing

his sneezing powder, which he called “Cachoo.”• In his first year, he sold 150,000 bottles of Cachoo.

But when demand tapered off, Adams turned his attention to other tricks, gadgets, and gags.

• Perhaps his greatest invention was the joy buzzer. This tiny mechanical device emits a loud vibrating buzz when two people shake hands, startling the unsuspecting victim. Adams traveled all the way to Dresden, Germany, to find a tool and die maker who designed parts small enough so that the buzzer could easily fit in the palm of a hand. The instant success of the joy buzzer allowed Adams to build a factory and hire a staff.

• From there, it was onward and upward as he invented tricks, jokes, and pranks: the squirting flower, the dribble glass, the fake-fly-in-an-ice-cube, the snake

in a nut can, itching powder, and the stink bomb.• Adams was a clever inventor and a shrewd

businessman, which allowed his company to thrive, even during the Great Depression. He became known as the father of the novelty prank. His products, wrapped in colorful cartoonish packaging, were available in five-and-dime department stores nationwide, and were sold from ads in the back of comic books. He expanded into simple pocket-sized magic tricks, including the ball-and-vase, the magic coin box, and the three shell game. Trick decks of cards were a popular item.

• In 1930, a Toronto rubber company offered Adams the rights to something they had invented: the Razz Cushion, now known as the Whoopie Cushion.

The Legend of Punished Woman's LakeNorth of the town of South

Shore, alongside Highway 20, sits a lone lake. Like other lakes and areas of the northeast region, its name derived from a Native Amer-ican legend. The historic marker at this site describes this legend, and how the lake got its name.

In 1773, a band of Sioux Indians were camped along the shores of

this lake. Big Eagle was the brav-est young warrior in the tribe, and had won the heart of the fairest maiden, We-Wa-Ke.

Numerous attempts were made by Big Eagle to win the approval of We-Wa-Ke’s father. He approached their lodge with gifts and a desire to have the maiden as his wife, how-

While the tribe celebrated the union, We-Wa-Ke and Big Eagle fled the camp. Their absence did not go unnoticed, and they were soon tracked down by the tribe and the old chief. The young couple was retuned to the hill overlooking the lake, where they proceed-ed to declare their love for each other. The old chief was so angered by this that he killed the young warrior with his knife and shot an arrow through the heart of the young maiden.

The two lovers were buried side by side, and White Tail Wolf called upon the Evil Spirit to take them to the Land of Everlast-ing Sorrow. But the Great Spirit heard his awful words and struck White Tail Wolf

dead with a bolt of lightning from a cloud-less sky.

The tribe soon moved westward, but never forgot the sor-row that was left on the shores of this, Punished Woman's Lake.

Q: I have a collection of newspapers covering the deaths of Princess Diana and John Kennedy, Jr. I also have several issues about the Boston Red Sox 2005 season and special Jackie Ken-nedy tribute editions. Thanks for any information. -- Dorothy, Coventry, Rhode Island

A: The newspapers you have would probably retail for less than $25 each. Even though you didn’t list the names of the papers, I assume all were published in the United States. Certain French and British editions covering the death of Princess Diana command higher prices and are considered more collectible.

A good source for historic papers is Timothy Hughes, P.O. Box 3636, Williamsport, PA 17701; [email protected]; and www.rarenewspapers.com.

• • •Q: I have a painting on oil cloth of a dancing girl with veils

painted in such a way that it looks several dimensions deep. It is old, but I can’t find an artist’s signature. What can you tell me about it? -- Beverly, New Smyrna, Florida

A: This technique is called “gouache,” sometimes spelled “gauche.” Although in some ways it is similar to watercolor, it is different in that the materials used are modified so that the ratio of pigment to water is increased. This gives the piece a much greater reflective quality and is why your dancing girl ap-pears to be layered, because technically it is. To find out about the value of your artwork, you should consult a professional art appraiser.

• • •Q: I have inherited a 1957 Chrysler 300 automobile. I do not

plan to sell it but would like to find other owners so I can learn more about this model of Chrysler. -- Ed, Memphis, Tennessee

A: One of the better groups is the Chrysler 300 Club Interna-tional, Inc, for owners of the 1955-65 automobiles. Contact is P.O. Box 40, Benson, MD 21018.

• • •Q: While cleaning out my mom’s storage area, I found an Avon

bottle, “Aladdin’s Lamp.” I’ve been told that many of the Avon bottles have become quite collectible. Please advise. -- Carole Ann, Homestead, Florida

A: Your Avon bottle was issued in 1974, and according to sev-eral guides I consulted, is worth only about $6.

• You probably won’t be surprised to learn that when author (and not-ed wit) Oscar Wilde arrived in the United States in 1882, he told the customs officers, “I have nothing to

declare except my genius.”• A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. • If you’re planning a summer vacation in Maine this

year, you might want to keep in mind that in that state, it’s against the law to tickle a woman under the chin with a feather duster.

• Despite the fact that 95 percent of the world uses the metric system of measurement, we in the United States still stubbornly cling to the archaic units of measure-ment derived from the old British Imperial system. This hodgepodge ranges from the mile (originally the distance a Roman soldier could march in 1,000 double steps) to the foot (originally the length of Emperor Charlemagne’s foot, later “standardized” to the length of 35 barleycorns laid end to end) to a yard (the distance between King Henry I’s nose to his extended fingertips) to an inch (the length from the tip to the first joint of a man’s thumb).

• Brazil nuts do come from Brazil, but they’re not tech-nically nuts; they’re seeds.

• When you think of the band ZZ Top, you probably think of long beards -- that’s become a sort of signature for them. The drummer, though, is beardless -- and his name is Frank Beard.

• A ground squirrel typically has a heartbeat of around 300 beats per minute. During hibernation, though, that drops dramatically -- to only three or four beats per min-ute.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Yesterday, I took my dog “Chip” for a walk without his booties or sweater, because we finally had a day that was somewhat warm. However, when

he ran over to a melt-ing snow pile beside the sidewalk, he cut his front paw on a piece of metal that was jutting out of the snow. He’s doing OK after an emergency trip to the vet. Can you warn readers that even if winter is ending, there are still dangers out there for pets? -- Gavin, via email

DEAR GAVIN: Absolutely! I’m glad Chip is doing OK,

Springtime Dangers

and hope he recovers quickly. Early spring presents a whole new set of hazards for pets outdoors, so they should never be unsuper-vised -- even in a fenced yard.

Debris that surfaces from under melting snow, such as Chip encountered, is one haz-ard. Pets also may try to chew on or ingest debris. Snow piles, particularly plow piles, often have tempting garbage interspersed throughout.

New plant growth is another danger: Winter winds and weather can bring seedlings from a variety of plants into your yard. Some can be poison-ous to pets. Keep dogs and cats away from weeds or sprouting plants and remove unfamiliar or unwanted plants before they take deep-er root.

In colder climates, keep booties on your dog even if the temperature is above freezing. The ground be-neath the sidewalk may still be frozen, and that can dam-age their paw pads.

I don’t want to make owners paranoid. Enjoy the nicer weather with your pet, but stay practical about their health and safety as the season changes.

Adams turned it down, deeming it “too vulgar” but quickly saw his error when it earned over $50,000 the first year it was on the market. He devised his own version of the gag and added it to his line-up.

• Another of his more successful inventions was the exploding cigar. Exploding cigars became a slapstick comedy staple employed by everyone from Groucho Marx, to the Looney Tunes animated characters, to the Joker in the Batman comics.

• Sam Adams claimed to have devised over 600 different items, and patented about 40 of them,

making him the definitive king of professional pranksters. His original sneezing powder was eventually outlawed over health concerns. Sam Adams actively managed his company right up to his death in 1963 at the age 84.

• The company he founded, now under new management, still sells many of Adams’ inventions, as well as items such as fake vomit, plastic dog poop, and gum that turns your teeth black.

• Sam Adams would be proud to know that, just like snowflakes, no two pieces of fake vomit are the same.

Smoked Ham with Strawberry SaucePerfect for a buffet any time of year. We created this impres-

sive glazed ham for winter entertaining, but it has become an Easter favorite as well.

1 (12-pound) smoked whole ham, fully cooked 3 pints strawberries2 tablespoons dark brown sugar2 tablespoons cornstarch1/2 teaspoon salt1 jar (10- to 12-ounce) orange marmaladeRadish sprouts or watercress sprigs, for garnish

1. Remove skin and trim some fat from smoked whole ham, leaving about 1/4 inch fat. With knife, score fat covering on ham crosswise, just through to the meat, into 1-inch-wide strips. Place ham on rack in large roasting pan (about 17-by-11 1/2 inches). Insert meat thermometer into center of ham, being careful that pointed end does not touch bone. Bake ham in 325 F oven 3 to 3 1/2 hours until thermometer reaches 140 F (15 to 18 minutes per pound). If ham browns too quickly, cover with a tent of foil.

2. About 30 minutes before ham is done, prepare strawberry sauce: Reserve 1 pint strawberries for garnish. Hull remaining strawberries. In 3-quart saucepan with potato masher or back of slotted spoon, mash strawberries. Stir in brown sugar, cornstarch, salt and orange marmalade; cook over medium heat until mixture thickens slightly and boils, stirring frequently.

3. To serve, place ham on warm large platter. Arrange radish sprouts and reserved whole strawberries around ham. Serve with strawberry sauce. Makes 24 servings.
