    The best prank so far was by a good friend. Her and her husband decided long ago there would be no kids. She got a pregnancy test and dyed it blue with Kool Aid and left it on the bathroom sink to be found. The poor man almost died!

    I’ve seen a guy who got told his wife was preggo but he was fixed. I thought that was hilarious.

    I would have to say my prank is the best. I live in an apt complex, so I created a note that said bug sprayers were coming the next day and everyone needs to clear out the cupboards and drawers. I put it on every apt. It worked flawlessly. Although our office was upset and released a note of their own saying do not let anyone in. Do they not have a sense of humor?

    I have tried this before with my cousin . I do give him a Fake Winning Lottery Tickets as a gift. Give somebody a cheap – and temporary . He was so thrilled and so happy since he like to play lotto.

    I’m more of an “any time it seems appropriate” kind of person. The company I work for now isn’t really the best place to play practical jokes, but when I worked at a bank, it was open season.

    Rubber snakes in the Brita pitcher, plastic farm animals taped underneath counters, life-size faces staring at you as you use the restroom…along with all the usual “stapler-in-jello” kind of stuff.

    I suggest buying a package of oreo cookies and replacing the cream filling with some sort of white toothpaste and then leaving a plate of them out in your office.
    I would also melt a little bit of chocolate in a diaper and leave it next to a trash can. Having a dirty diaper in the office is weird in itself.

    Some ok, not crazy on the pregnancy ones as a little beyond a joke but the chocolate in a diaper one sounds interesting though I sure it could be expanded on to make it even more interesting.

    When my friend arrived home his wife wasn’t at home so he sent an SMS message to here with following text: “You can come to my place. My wife isn’t at home”. Then sent this message to her. She arrived home with the speed of light :-)

    I haven’t performed any special april fool pranks in last couple of years but when we were kids then we did really use those regular tricks like tying a string to a wallet and leaving it on the middle of a busy road..many people will go for it and at that time we used to pull the wallet towards us :) it funny at least in those young days

    i have one… well not really this year but it was back in high school… incidentally i missed school that fateful day, a couple of friends spread a rumor that i tried to commit suicide and was sent to the hospital… teachers and students rushed to the hospital to look for my room, all their efforts proved futile, since i was home resting… to cut the story short, they thought i was in on the joke, i explained, my friends enjoyed their masterpiece for a bit but felt sorry when it went out of control… well, it was an awful prank, but it was april and many people were fooled… ;P

    Google’s april fools jokes are always good, look them up on Wikipedia; some are them are really clever. (I particularly enjoyed the introductions of Google’s Pigeon Rank)

    lol, that reminds me of a prank that a friend (now an ex-friend, kidding)did to me… it was probably april fools 2006… anyway it’s quite easy to pull off, if you plan to do the prank yourself… what my friend did was he secretly ‘let one out’ then went on to ask me “mmmm that smells like fresh bread, smelt it?”…….. you get the picture…

    Except for those cockroaches and other stupid pranks we see every year, this year two of my school mates played a prank on our teachers. Since the principal was out of town and the vice-principal was busy, these 2 students spread out the rumor that 2nd April was a holiday because it was the principal’s birthday.

    Soon the rumor spread so much in nearly 40 minutes(1 Lesson), that no one barely knew where this originated. After break, the whole school was called to the assembly area and the VP addressed, laughingly she remarked “The whole school is a fool, we’ve been fooled it’s April 1st”. :lol: that was the best prank I saw last april fools day!

    Scoop about an inch of deodorant from the top of the victim’s stick deodorant. Then take a slice of cream cheese and carefully insert it into the deodorant container, sculpting it so it looks like deodorant. Put the top back on and wait for the fun!

    many lols

I live in an apt complex, so I created a note that said bug sprayers were coming the next day and everyone needs to clear out the cupboards and drawers. I put it on every apt. It worked flawlessly.” So good! I wish I had thought of anything even remotely as cool as that. Ah, I really need to come up with something good this year. Good thing I have a whole year to think about it.

    I can’t tell you how often my blog gets spammed… I think everyone moderates comments closely… even those of us with nofollow blogs.

    A cool prank for fun is to plant competition size pumpkin seeds all over the victims lawn or place of employment.

    a revenge prank is to urinate in a ziplock bag and freeze it into a sheet of ice. Then when its frozen, take it out of the ziplock and slide it under the victims door. This works better in a dorm cause most front doors dont have any space at the bottom.

    theres a couple other good ones at the website i sited: http://www.blurnt.com
