April Fools day today and picking my victim was easy. My gullible friend falls fast for a story and seeing how Britain’s fuel crisis is the hot topic at the moment, I used it to my advantage. I told my friend, via text that fisticuffs had broken out at a local petrol station and warned her to avoid it. I also threw in the mix that a lady had committed suicide at a house where a swarm of police cars had been seen outside of the other day. My pal was dumbfounded and didn’t bother verifying my information or the calendar before she spread the “news”, including a wall message on Facebook.

Six hours later I confessed and needless to say she wasn’t happy. I’ve been called a string of expletives and she’s stopped texting me . She’ll get over it. Happy April Fools Day.

On a serious note I must also mention that today is the 28th anniversary of Motown Legend Marvin Gaye’s death. 28 years passes by so quickly but the power and magic of his music remains just as powerful today.

Sink of Surprise

This funny prank is very easy to pull off as long as you have a spray attatchment on your sink. Get a rubber band and wrap it around the trigger to hold it in the “on” position. It’s best if it is a clear rubber band.

Before you actually pull this off, you need to turn the water on so their is enough pressure left in the hose to make it spray at it’s full potential. Whomever is next to turn the sink on will be victim of a very wet praactical joke!

Defective Cup

This one takes precision and you will also need an exacto knife, styrofoam cup, straw, and your friends favorite beverage.

Most white styrofoam cups have what is known as a “gate” in the center of the bottom of the cup. It looks like a little nub. Taking your exacto knife, cut around the nub very carefully until it can be poked out.

Now that you have your hole, make sure your straw will fit snug into the hole and stands straight up in the middle of the cup. Pour your friends favorite drink into the cup and give it to them. When they pull the straw out of the hole, they will get soaked!

Cerealously Funny

This one works great if you use milk! You will need a half empty box of cereal, a washed out asprin bottle or something similar and an unsuspecting victim.

Pour milk into the bottle and nestle into the cereal so it reaches the bottom. The cereal should keep the bottle stabalized.

Close up the box of cereal and wait for breakfast. When your victim comes along to pour their cereal, they will already have milk in the bowl for them! This one is good for the kids!

Garbage Can Stalker

I know most people are not willing to get in a garbage can but if you are, this one is for you! You will need a large garbage can with a section cut out for you to see through. Try to pick someone you know as a stranger may not find this so funny.

Set your garbage can up where you normally would and hop inside. Make sure it’s clean! When your victim comes walking by, jump out and scream “April Fools!” but be prepared for a negative reaction.

Copy Machine Mystery

For a little fun at the office this one is great, especially if you get some of your co-workers involved.

The copy machine is by no doubt one of your co-worker’s worst enemies. This person would be the perfect target! 

Make sure that the copy machine is empty before your co-worker needs to use it. They will probably get irritated that they have to put paper in the machine.

When they are done filling the machine and making their copies, make sure they are distracted and empty the copy machine once again. The next time they need to use it, the will have to put another reem of paper in and get even more irritated! Keep it going until they figure out that someone is messing with them, and don’t forget to say April Fools!

“In an effort to help the national debt, Taco Bell is pleased to announce that we have agreed to purchase the Liberty Bell, one of our country’s most historic treasures. It will now be called the “Taco Liberty Bell” and will still be accessible to the American public for viewing. While some may find this controversial, we hope our move will prompt other corporations to take similar action to do their part to reduce the country’s debt.”

Thousands of concerned Americans complained both to the Taco Bell corporation and the National Park Service in Philadelphia. Later that day, press secretary even told the press that “We’ll be doing a series of these. Ford Motor Co. is joining today in an effort to refurbish the Lincoln Memorial. It will be the Lincoln Mercury Memorial.” Taco Bell, however, announced that, to the relief of all American citizens, the Taco Liberty Bell was nothing but a hoax.

Happy April Fools Day!

Expect anything and everything on April Fools’ Day.

Though April Fools’ Day is celebrated around the world it is not a national holiday. All kinds of jokes and foolishness abound on this day. Jokes ranging from being simply good-humoured or simply funny to hoaxes definitely serve as a test of one’s imagination and the recipient’s good naturedness and/or imagination or lack of one or both.

Various countries have their own variation on how they celebrate April Fools. People in New Zealand, Ireland, the UK, Australia, and South Africa have their April Fools’ Day jokes last only until noon. UK papers even only have their morning edition print their April Fools’ Day prank.

Anywhere else in the world April Fools’ Day goes on entirely on April 1st’s 24 hours.

April Fools’ Day is not for everyone to have some laughs. Some of the well-known world-class hoaxes had a dramatically funny or dramatically catastrophic effect on the public which sometimes involve countries.

Here are some of history’s world class renowned pranks:

 Liberty Bell: In 1996 Taco Bell had a full-page advertisement in the 104-times-Pulitzer-Prize winner The New York Times announcing that they had bought the historic Liberty Bell. Taco Bell said they did this to help reduce America’s debt . Thus they were renaming Liberty Bell “Taco Liberty Bell”. When the White House was asked then-press secretary Mike McCurry replied affirmatively and pulled another April Fools’ Day prank regarding the Lincoln Memorial.

 Lincoln Memorial: White House announced the memorial to America’s 16th President sold with the new name Lincoln Mercury Memorial.

 Iceberg Towed: In 1983 Australian millionaire Dick Smith said he towed an iceberg from Antarctica to Sydney Harbour with the help of a barge covered in white plastic and a fire extinguisher foam.

Jovian-Plutonian Gravitational Effect: In 1976 British astronomer Sir Patrick Moore said that at 9:47 a.m. of April 1st a unique alignment of two planets would make people lighter because of its effect on earth’s gravity. Dozens phoned in after 9:47 of that morning to affirm the “strange floating sensation”.

 Nelson Mandela: One of the world’s beloved presidents, President Nelson Mandela, was even a victim of a prank when a UK radio presenter named Nic Tuff pretended to be Prime Minister Tony Blair and called the South African President. Before Tuff literally hanged up Tuff gave President Mandela a hint of his April Fools’ Day prank by asking President Mandela what he’s planning for April Fools.

 Instant Color TV: In 1962 a Swedish television did a 5-minute special announcement on how to have instant color TV. The Swedish network said this can be achieved by simply placing a nylon stocking in front of the then-popular black and white TV and magic – instant colored television!

TV License Fee Evasion Imprisonment: In 1969 a Dutch TV announced a TV license fee evasion imprisonment of the citizens of The Netherlands. When a public servant was asked on how the Dutch people could ever avoid being caught the public servant replied that it is quite impossible since people “would unlikely wrap their TV in aluminum foil”. As a result aluminum foil ran out in many stores within that hour.

 Big Ben Goes Digital: In 1980 BBC reported that there was a proposal to change to digital the 1858-built-clock of London.

Diet Tap Water: In 2004 a British breakfast show announced a successful “diet tap water” that helped one customer lose a stone and a half in four months. Ten thousand inquiries from viewers then ensued.

SARS Becomes Uncontrollable in Hong Kong: In 2003 when Hong Kong was turbulently hit by SARS (severe accute respiratory syndrome) a student thought of having his April Fools’ Day kick by posting in a website the announcement that SARS in Hong Kong is already uncontrollable and that all immigration ports would be closed for quarantine. He added that the then-Chief Executive of Hong Kong resigned because of this. Unfortunately the conservative people of Hong Kong didn’t take on well his April Fools’ Day prank and the student was eventually charged.

 Bill Gates’ Assasination: Some conservative Asians celebrated one April Fools’ Day with a prank that dramatically backfired on their stock market. Way back then many Chinese and South Korean websites posted that U.S. cable news channel CNN announced the shooting of Microsoft founder Bill Gates. In effect it was their stock market that went down.

 NASA Found Water on Mars: NASA’s official website had an April Fools’ Day the out of this world way that only they can do by announcing finding water on Mars. Aware of the dramatic effect of this prank they also accompanied this announcement by realistically having a picture of a glass of water on top of a Mars candy bar.

 Mummified Fairy: In 2007 an illusion designer posted images of what he claimed to be the mummified corpse of a an eight-inch-fairy. He fetched a handsome £280 for this on eBay.

APRIL FOOLS!

April 1st – April Fools Day, All Fools Day.

Today is April 1st – the day that many people love to play silly pranks on others.

Personally I never cared much for April Fools but many people seem to, pulling pranks on family members, co-workers, teachers, bosses, pretty much anyone in their path.

When did April Fools day start?

There is a lot of unsureness as to exactly where and when April Fools began.

The first recognized mention of April Fools was in the book Canterbury Tales in the year 1392 written by Geoffrey Chaucer.  In the book, a vain Chanticleer, or as we now know as rooster, gets tricked by a fox.

In 1539 poet Eduard de Dene made a poem about a nobleman who made his servants go on foolish errands on April 1st.

In 1686 writer John Aubrey called April 1st the Fooles holy day.

“April Fools” is a copy of a Medieval holiday called the Feast of Fools which was held on December 28th

Some believe that it originated with Noah.

In a 1789 English newspaper it was said that April Fools began when Noah set the dove away before the waters had receded. As it was too early, it was considered a prank.

It was said that this happened on the first day of Hebrew month that ties in with April.

Even though we really do not know how it began, for many it seems to be a well liked tradition which has been carried on for centuries.

My next article will show some of the best pranks played on people.
