April Fools

April Fool's Day is right around the corner, but before you turn it, make sure look you down for any banana peels.

If you're at work today, I know you'll be looking over your shoulder, poking at your desk gingerly and trying to pay people to be your food taster for the day... and rightly so.

There are many ways you can either pull a prank or be pranked on April Fool's Day. Some are innocent. Some require a combination of thought and physical prowess. And some will turn into an emergency room visit. Take it from a recovering prankster...know the limits of your prank.

If you're at work today, I know you'll be looking over your shoulder, poking at your desk gingerly and trying to pay people to be your food taster for the day... and rightly so.

Every year on April 1st, office water coolers are spiked with white wine and computer mouses are glued to desks. Every year on college campuses, half empty buckets of water are placed on the top of dorm room doors and passed out bros are covered with marker ink. And throughout the world, the sound of chuckling and cackling can be heard echoing across its borders.

Today, I wrap up the series of April Fools Day Pranks with one of my all time favorites. This one will set you back a little money, but it's a great group gag, so you can share the cost.

If you're looking for a simple, yet infuriating practical joke, the Filing Cabinet Frustration gag is just what the doctor ordered. I'll also share a neat twist for those with a naughty streak in them.

Today's April Fool's prank idea is not for everyone. In fact, this practical joke is only for the professional pranker.

Today, I start a week-long series of practical jokes for you to use in case you're having trouble coming up with one on your own. Prank #1 involves little cost with great rewards.

Every year since 2000, except 2001 and 2003, Google has treated netizens to at least one, sometimes 17, April Fool’s Day pranks and easter eggs. And, since we know they love to play (check out their new Google Play offering), we’re hoping 2012 will be no different.

Since tonight is a Powerball drawing night, I thought it would be the perfect day to introduce Prank #3. This is about the cruelest prank you can pull on a buddy...making him think he just won the lottery. It's easier to fool those who play Powerball on a regular basis, but I'll show you how to do it even if they don't.
