  • Very geeky and boring im sure but......What I used to do was take a Picture of a persons Screen on their computer then put it as the desktop background.

    then when the tried to click on something it wouldnt work....obviously you have to hide all the icons first..

    god im boringgggg lol
  • the first year my husband and i lived together, he came home and told me he had lost his job and didnt know how we were going to pay rent. well ive been poor all my life so this was devastating news and i bawled my eyes out. he then tried to reassure me by telling me it was april fools day and it was just a joke. needless to say, we dont play april fools on one another anymore...
  • I spent the morning evil-y giggling to myself & my fiance was paranoid of EVERYTHING

    Finally I told him that I didn't do ANYTHING for April Fool's day, my prank was making him think I did

    I created a face facebook profile using my Doctors picture and making him into my dream man. At midnight, I linked our profiles and put that we were engaged... I got a zillion congrats from people who don't know me extremely well, but what is up with all my close friends and even some family thinking I would get engaged to a guy they never even met? Those were priceless! One of my friends doing the grats even has the same doctor and didnt recognize him :)

    My 19 year old daughter told my 9 year old son to get some water for our dog. When he turned on the faucet in the kitchen, he got drenched by the sprayer nozzle that she'd taped in the "on" position.

    I had a friend who had this ...odd... relationship with a guy, and on April 1st of last year, they announced their "engagement" on facebook. Oh. MY. GOSH... My response "<her name here>, get on skype. We need to talk." That was similar to a lot of her close friends. Her more distant acquaintances on fb congratulated her. It took everyone some time to figure out it was a joke. Her dad's response?

    An email:

    "What do you have some secret life you're not telling us about now?! WTF."

    It was hilarious.

    ETA: She also waited until I'd given my entire analysis of the situation and reaction to the day's news to tell me it was a prank. She just kept telling me that I was kind of right, but there was something else that I wasn't seeing, refused to go into detail and then prompted me to continue with what I was saying. Finally at the end, I asked her what she thought of what I'd said, and of her pending engagement, and THEN she told me.

    My son in the Navy called this morning to say I was going to be a grandmother...he was a little disappointed in my reaction - Cause I said "oh, no ... sweetie. what happened" ... he confessed it was April Fool. He is calling his sister next, but isn't going to tell her it is a joke to see how long it takes before she breaks down and calls me.

    Senior year of college, I called and told my parents there was a mistake in the financial aid office and I wasn't going to be graduating. I didn't know it at the moment I called but brother had just been arrested and they were upset at the joke.

    A couple of morning DJ's in town talked about the opening of a new underground mall that had a Pottery Barn and a Nordstroms and other high end stores that was located in a manufacturing area of town. They had people flocking to that intersection all day looking for the mall entrance. It was hilarious!
  • My 4 yr old and 7 yr old told my parents today that I was pregnant again as their April Fool's joke....here's my history to know why this was great for them:

    Pregnant mid-2004 had baby early 2005
    Pregnant late 2005, unfortunate miscarriage early 2006
    Pregnant late 2006, had baby mid 2007
    Pregnant late 2007, had baby mid 2008
    Pregnant late 2009, had baby mid 2010

    My parents freaked!! LOL, it must have been hilarious hearing my girls scream "April's Fool"

    The left handed whopper ad campaign is one of my favourite ones ever, it's the same sandwich only rotated 180degrees! The fact people started ordering it just made it all the funnier

    BMW usually come up with a good one, and this year it's perfect for MFP:

    TURN YOUR CAR INTO A COACH


    As the Official Automotive Partner of London 2012, BMW has been inspired to develop a new technology to help customers boost their fitness in the run up to the London 2012 Games.

    The new driverless Running Coach feature uses a combination of ConnectedDrive technologies and surround view cameras to enable your BMW to follow you at a safe distance while you pound the streets. Integrated exterior speakers play words of encouragement when you need a little extra motivation and, if you don’t have the willpower of an elite-level athlete, the Lock Out Logistics (LOL) feature helps you to complete any distance set. Alvin Alaff, BMW’s Head of Innovation, said ‘It’s a car gym but not as we know it.’

    My room mate in college and I were kind of the bums of the honor dorm. Our room was a mess, we would open the window of our room and do impressions of bodily noises, particularly if parents were visiting and walking by the dorm. We pretended we were fighting and threw furniture around, and screamed. So of course the nicest woman in the entire dorm was assigned the room across from us, and naturally, and in a good natured way, we thought we should welcome her to our corner of the floor. And she was genuinely a sweet person. Sooo, we took all our beer cans built a wall in front of her closed door. And of course when she opened the door in the am, what a clatter and mess. She was an early bird riser. OMG, what a racket when those beer cans went over.

    The joke was kind of on us. She told us how she thought we were unfairly picked on all the time and whispered about what "bad" girls we were. She knew how smart we both were (she kept pretty good tabs on test results-- better than we knew at the time); and felt we had made her one of "us." However, she was a Mormon and wasn't too crazy about all of the beer drinking we did. At least she was a Mormon with a sense of humor. Shelley was genuinely a lovely person, nothing phoney about her. You might say she had a "calming" effect on my roommate and I.
