*[[George W. Bush]] signs the [[Unborn Victims of Violence Act]], commonly known as [[Laci Peterson|Laci]] and Conner's Law, that states that an act of violence that leads to the death of a pregnant mother and her child can be counted as two offenses.

*94.3 FM, a [[country music]] [[radio station]] in [[Poughkeepsie, New York]] aired a segment that stated that April 1st, 2004 was really [[March 32]] because of a thing in the calendar. This included a (correct) history of the calendar, starting with the [[Julain Calendar]], then the [[Gregorian Calendar]]. It also mentioned how we only have 
eleap years in years divisible by 100 if they are also divisible by 400. (i.e. [[2000]] but not [[1900]]). Then, itm mentioned (probably truthfully) how in years divisible by 10,000 there is no leap year. Then, it said (and this is the prank) that the calendar was still slightly off, so 4 years after a millenial year, there was 1 more day in March. They even added a nice poem, starting with "Thirty days has september..." then they ended it with "But in every Millenal year plus 4, March has one day more"
