How about changing the "Ready" status to whatever you want on an HP Laserjet?

I submitted a "post your best office/work April Fools prank" thread yesterday and it didn't go green. Thanks, Fark. Now everyone's going to post their shiat today when it's too late to properly prepare.

Oh, and BensBargains.net had a link that appeared to indicate the Nintendo Wii was in stock at Amazon.com. It turned out to be a rickroll.

Romeo_Santana		2008-04-01 09:02:33 AM

Every year I leave a note on my boss's computer telling him to return a call from Mike Howell. (My Cow)

I leave the number to the local stock yards.

"Hello, I am returning a call from my cow."

That is my one April fools joke..
Enjoy!

You're never more than 12 words away from an awesome prank. "Thermite, packed in the slow release mechanism of a garden flower pot"

Hiding in the back of a toilet was the hardest thing I've ever done.

mrapier		2008-04-01 09:04:24 AM

Gmail two years ago had a prank where they would print and mail all emails to your house that was OK. This year I posted a myspace bulletin that I was preggo and in a few hours I'm going to say I got "rid of it"-I hope that works on a few fools. I don't have the link but last night I read an article about the Formula 1 ceo who was caught up in some sex/nazi scandal, I was sure that was a prank, but they named names...so who knows.

Bonksnp		2008-04-01 09:04:42 AM

Rockband on the PSP was kinda funny.

I took inspiration from the article on knuckle tats and freaked my husband out with a fake one. My name (heart) his name.
It looked very real and he was taken aback until he realised it was fake. It took him longer then I thought it would, so either I do too many impetuous crazy things and he's getting used to it or he's not as bright as I thought when we married.
