It's April first, 4010; also known as April Fools Day to those using the old Earth calendar.
Long before the ancients wised up and started using the Internet and PCs properly, would you believe they recorded all their data BY HAND on a fragile material called paper?
Thankfully we're long past such archaic methods.
But while history shows that today is the traditional day for pulling what are supposed to be harmless pranks and gags on our fellow beings, some of our ancestors had the
(mis)fortune to be born upon this date.
Amongst those are:
