April Fools Day More Intense On Mars
Astrophysicists announced today that April Fools' Day is more intense on Mars. This surprising discovery challenges accepted theories, but researchers suggest several causes for the severe Martian phenomenon. Martian gravity is only about 3/8ths as strong as Earth's, and a Martian day, called a sol, lasts nearly 40 minutes longer.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
