I read this article about Cinco de Mayo, written by Nsenga Burton, from an online newsletter I subscribe to. I thought it was pretty interesting. Below is the first paragraph from the article, followed by a link to the entire article.

I hope everyone has a good Cinco de Mayo!

Enjoy.

Cinco de Mayo is one of those holidays that many use as a time for celebration, while knowing very little about the holiday and its importance to the people of Mexico. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. Outnumbered 2-to-1, the Mexicans defeated the French. No other army outside of the Americas has invaded Mexico since.

This has been a great April Fool's Day! I have to say it has been one of my best. I have successfully pranked so many people. If anyone has any good pranks they have done today, please feel free to leave a comment about it.

Thanks!

Although April Fools Day isn't really related to what The Corner 10 Blog is all about, I personally love this day and do pranks on friends, and strangers, every year. Actually, as soon as midnight hit, I was on the phone leaving joke messages for people to hear when they wake up in the morning. I've always been a prankster and I will always be one until the day I die.

I thought it would be cool to add a link to some of the pranks that are happing this year. Check it out!
