April Fools!

Ha! I totally got you, because it's not April Fools! Unless you're in Europe. Or you're reading this a couple hours from now. To hell with you, future people. I'll get you back by using up all your oil.
Anyways, my April Fools are always uniformly boring. Tomorrow, for example, I'll be at work or in class the entire day like every Tuesday and I'm not expecting anything to happen. Nor do I have the time/energy to do something up myself. But I hear rumors that in other locations not in my immediate area, pranks are known to occur. Got any good ones for this year or past years? I need some good laughs at other people's expense.
Just so I'm not entirely lacking, here's one I stole from a Slashdotter.

Speaking of cake, a favorite joke of mine is to put a delicious looking cake in the office break room with "Happy April Fools Day" written in large letters in the frosting. Of course, the cake is perfectly fine and 100% edible, but no one will trust it. Its amusing seing people staring it down, debating, and daring each other to take a bite all day long.
P.S. If all you've got is screenshotting someone's desktop, try again next year and put some effort into it k

You're living in the past. You've got no sense of direction. Let go of the past, let go and get into the future that is now.
It was a painful prank to play.

The result was as hilarious as it was awful.
Remove the plastic bags from cereal boxes and switch them around. Your victim will scratch his head wondering why Cheerios came out of a box of Lucky Charms.
Mail Box Prank
After the mail has already been delivered, fill the mail box with ping pong balls or packing nuts. Then ask someone else to go get the mail.
Lottery Ticket Swap
This one takes some pre-planning. All you have to do is buy someone a lotto ticket today and tomorrow go out early and buy another ticket with the exact same numbers as the winning ticket from yesterday. When the victim of your prank isn't paying attention swap the newer ticket with the old one. When the person looks in the paper for the winning numbers, he or she won't even realize the date is wrong on the ticket and will believe it is the big winner.
Bend Over Splits
Place a dollar bill on the floor and as people walk by and try to pick the dollar up, you stand nearby and tear a small piece of cloth. It will sound as if the victim of the prank actually split their pants and most of the time they will check their rear and leave in embarrasement.
Push or Pull
Print out some signs that read, "Push" and "Pull" and tape them to doors at your local stores. Make sure to place them on the wrong side. Then sit back and watch as people push when they are instructed to pull and vise versa
Shoe Polish Phone Prank
Coat the reciever of someone's phone with shoe polish and then give them a call. Instant gratification. Make sure you match the colors of the polish and the phone. Small amounts of shaving cream work too.
Upside Down Cup
Fill a cup with water about half way. Then place an index card over the cup. Then turn the cup upside down on your co-worker's desk. Finally, carefully slide the index card out from underneath the cup. Whenever your co-worker decides to pick the cup up, he will be drenched in water.
Bar Of Soap Lather Prank
Take some nail polish and coat a bar of soap with it. Let it dry. Then put it in the bathroom shower. When your victim tries to use it, he or she will go nuts trying to get it to lather up.
Ypto Ypto...errr!!! TYPO!
Be carefull with this one, as to not ruin the keyboard. All you have to do is simply and very carefully remove a few keys and switch them around. If your victim is one of those "look up and down" typers. He or she will be very confused while trying to get work done.
Confusing Drawers
Before your co-worker arrives at the office remove his desk drawers and switch them around. He will definantly scratch his head over this one. Hint: In case you cannot remove the drawers, just remove the items and swap them.
Dorm pranks:
- fill someone's room with little cups full of water, all over the floor. When they get home they'll have to pick up and empty each one individually or else spill water everywhere.
- tape someone's door/saran wrap someone's door
- ketchup packets under the toilet seat
- other stuff I can't remember
Think of it as a psychological one of those cakes ;D
Step 1: Get 3 Pigs
Step 2: Spraypaint Pigs
Step 3: Release in school/other large building
Step 4: ????
Step 5: Profit once they catch pigs #1, #2, and #4 and fail to find #3
This was done at my school a couple years back. Next year's prank was slightly less hilarious, where the seniors released boxes of crickets throughout the school. Sounded like a goddamn symphony.
NNID: Hakkekage
The crickets would probably be a sucky one. You can't easily clean that up at the end of the day.
It was 17 years ago.
They might 'release' the 'new' race in starcraft 2 tomorrow. It'll probably be a race of Samir Duran clones.
But zing

You're adopted.

A cake on April 1st that says "You're not adopted" is the perfect amount of mind fuckery :P
Exactly. A truly great prank can be annoying, baffling, surreal and/or amusing. But it should be safe and easily fixable.
My college had a statue of the founder on campus. One year, a group of students decided to dress the statue as The Crow and hid a boombox playing the movie's soundtrack at high volume in nearby bushes. Nice, simple prank, if not very creative.
Then some fuckwit decided to paint the statue's face. Not cool.

For the WoW nerds :P
This wasn't on April fools, but there was an annual day at my college when freshmen were pranked en masse by the upperclassmen. One of the freshmen next to me was twins with another at the school, so a bunch of us ganged together and swapped all the stuff between their rooms. And I do mean ALL the stuff, I believe we even swapped the beds. Their rooms were in separate dorms too.
As for April fools proper, Google tends to have good ones. I did like their sewer based ISP.
Sneak into my friend's room, grab him, tell him not to say a fucking word. Drag him all the way to my car, throw him in the trunk of a friend's car that has no release. Drive around in an empty Sunday parking lot, swerving and playing a CD that made it seem like we were getting shot at. Drove to my friend's place.
Opened the trunk, let the guy out with a blindfold on. Took it off.
He was at a big ass party, everyone yelling out to him with some cups out: APRIL FOOLS!
And then he passed out. I'm pretty sure there was piss stains on his jeans.
Ah, yes, we get those wonderful pranks on campus from time to time. Not just on April Fool's, mind you.
Why, just the other day on what we call the outdoor classroom (big concrete bench), someone painted the word 'gay' on it. Great to see that Gay Pride represented!
A couple years back, some people drew a Swastika in the parking lot of one of the dorms. Sounds harmless enough to me~
And then last year people placed bananas in front of people's doors. Well that's not so bad, after all, bananas are a potassium-packed treat. Obviously they were gifts to the black students and nothing more.
(There are fucked up people here...and they never get caught...)

That's awesome.
This is unless I think of something better in the next 3 and a half hours
I have already received several messages asking if it's true and two girls have applauded me for my bravery. I have done nothing but edit my Facebook status and "interested in" status, both of which I did about 10 minutes ago. If some of my extremely religious acquaintances send me brochures to attend their church's Gay Reprogramming camp, I will consider the prank an official success.
This will hopefully be as hilarious to my friends as it was painful for me to do it.

Did you get that list from 1001 Hyuks, Yuks, and Guffaws by Beany R. Pranksterini?
Hee.
Do the questionnaire - it's great.
Always has some amusing pranks every April Fools Day
