April Fool’s Day Hall of Fame

February 14th, 2009 in Pop Culture History by Gerald D. Swick

APRIL FOOL! There is no April Fool’s Day Hall of Fame – but those princes of pranks and pratfalls Moe and Jerome “Curly” Howard were born near Brooklyn, according to Stoogeworld. And that’s no joke. Nyuck-nyuck-nyuck!

About the Author: I regard historic research as a never-ending Easter egg hunt: You never know where you'll find a hidden treasure. Growing up with parents who told stories of family history probably had a lot to do with that. I realized early on that history is about lives already lived. I've met war veterans, early aviators, friends of Abraham Lincoln's in-laws, and a host of others who shared their histories with me – and it was never boring!
