Today is April Fool’s Day (no, really, I’m not joking). There are a surprising number of apps on the Apple App Store revolving around this day of pranks. I won’t list all of ‘em here, but here’s a smattering to whet your appetite:
° Prank App, Voice Changer, Call Voice Changer, Voice Changer for Calls+, Magic Voice Changer, all for iPad: you can record yourself saying anything and apply creative filters to modify your voice;
° PrankDial and Fun Phone Call, both for iPhone; they offer a variety of prank call ideas;
° April Fool Day Ideas Jokes for iPhone; it offers, as you might guess, a list of April Fool’s jokes;
° Prank Sounds for iPad; it allows you to send a variety of prank sounds (such as air horns) and stickers.
Speaking of April Fool’s Day, some historians believe its customs of playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes began in France, although no one knows for sure. It may stem from a calendar change in 16th century France — the moving of New Year’s Day from April 1 to January 1 when the Gregorian calendar was adopted. People who continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1 rather than the new date of Jan. 1 were referred to as “April fools” and others played tricks on them.
