Maybe it's just me as I've always been of the understanding that you can't pull any pranks after midday. I read about a great one in Los Angeles which took place in 1992, when airliner after airliner descended into LAX where locals had made an 85 foot banner which said 'Welcome to Chicago'!

If you do a Google search, its all over the internet, but I was trying to find a reliable enough source to post from - so this is from the BBC's h2g2 site:
Quote:
In some countries (eg, Ireland and Cyprus) the tradition goes that after 12 noon you can no longer play tricks. In the afternoon, whoever does play a trick becomes the fool. This scenario may have been designed by adults to give themselves a bit of a rest.
So, it seems it just depends where in the world you are. I wanted to look this up, because my mum (an Australian all her life) always told me that it ended at noon as well. So, it used to be noon in Australia too. I dont think people seem to care much anymore though.

...so by the looks of it, you could be right there, mercury

So, in some countries (myself included), we have "April Fool´s Day".

In others, we have "April Fool´s Midday"...

I prefer to call it 'April Fool's Morning'! At least that way, if someone plays a trick on me in the afternoon, I can call them a fool as I'm playing by the rules I had as a kid.

Sorry mate,
Wasn't trying to come across as having a go at you or anything...just was genuinely interested, as I was just talking to my mum about it the other day!
Anyway...its probably about time somebody said it: Let's try and get
