Top 100 April Fool's Jokes And Hoaxes

Great site for reading about the greatest April Fool's jokes and hoaxes of all time. Here are some examples:

| #1: The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest In 1957 the respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied that they should "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best." |

| #4: The Taco Liberty Bell In 1996 the Taco Bell Corporation announced that it had bought the Liberty Bell and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called the National Historic Park in Philadelphia where the bell was housed to express their anger. Their nerves were only calmed when Taco Bell revealed, a few hours later, that it was all a practical joke. The best line of the day came when White House press secretary Mike McCurry was asked about the sale. Thinking on his feet, he responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold. It would now be known as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial. |

| #8: The Left-Handed Whopper In 1998 Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version." |

| #10: Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity In 1976 the British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur that listeners could experience in their very own homes. The planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth's own gravity. Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment that this planetary alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation. When 9:47 AM arrived, BBC2 began to receive hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation. One woman even reported that she and her eleven friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room. |

I remember the left handed whopper. I had a friend who worked for BK and she stated at least 20 people came in wanting to order one.
The best april fools day prank my wife and I pulled was on our children. We sat them all down that morning and told them that due to rising prices and cut backs we could only afford to feed one of them per meal. We told them to have a good day at school and we would figure out who gets fed when. We did not tell them it was a joke till about 7pm that night. It was interesting to hear them trying to decide in what order they were going to eat in.

*sneaks into Krusten's house with plastic wrap and seals the bowl for her* Its great but you have to get it real tight so no one can see it and be nice leave the seat down.
Then you remove all but 4 sheets of toilet paper and all spare rolls. Use the spare rolls outside to mummify their car. Ensure a good dew make it stick real good over night.
Here is one I pulled on my boss first April he had to put up with me. Tape the receiver down on their phone. Ensure many have a good view then call them.
The older phones were better because you could remove the speak or microphone from them. Tape over the speaker works ok also if you can open the handle.
Hate your IT department guys unplug every other phone and then plug them back in. It is very mean though.
Remember be subtle and ensure at least three other are suspects also. Were I work that is easy as we all will try anything once.
Yes and remember to grease the under side of your wifes car door handles that morning she will just love you for it. I prefer to use hand cream for this as it is less wasteful and does not stain clothing.
Can I be your neighbor?
This year I tied tin can to the back of my neighbors car light string so they broke off fast. He was kind and returned them to me that night, they were tied to my eaves trough and rattled against the window
