This is the day of the Vernal Equinox -- a.k.a. Spring Equinox marking the beginning of astronomical spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere -- but, more importantly, today is the day you'll finally be able to balance an egg on its end!
Well, as if.
But, according to Chinese legend, an egg will only balance on its end on the beginning of Spring and -- though eggs have been known to rest comfortably on a woven mat -- people have been trying to stand their eggs on flat surfaces on this particular day, for years....most of them being treated to an omelet for their effort.

So -- if you're not doing anything constructive around 1:26 p.m. (EST) -- you can either help perpetuate the old wives tale on some poor sucker friends and co-workers before finally admitting, "The yolks on you!"
Or, simply sale into spring with these unique gifts and gag items from wonderfullywacky.com.
April Fool's Day is just around the corner and Baron Bob has some of the best pranks a person can find! Like, this may look like an ordinary ashtray but nothing could be farther from the truth. This is the Coughing Ashtray, the anti-smoker ash catching device. Every time a smoker puts their cigarette near the Coughing Ashtray, a motion sensor will cause the ashtray to loudly cough.
