Here are 10 of the top April Fool's Day pranks ever pulled off, as judged by the San Diego-based Museum of Hoaxes for their notoriety, absurdity, and number of people dupedSome interesting pranks. I especially like the left hand whopper being sold by Burger King.

In 1998, a newsletter titled New Mexicans for Science and Reason carried an article that the state of Alabama had voted to change the value of pi from 3.14159 to the "Biblical value" of 3.0.
Neither of those is the value of pi. Pi is approximately equal to 3.14159. ;) You have no idea how many times I hear "Pi is exactly 3."

Noted British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on the radio in 1976 that at 9:47 am, a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event, in which Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, would cause a gravitational alignment that would reduce the Earth's gravity. Moore told listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment of the planetary alignment, they would experience a floating sensation. Hundreds of people called in to report feeling the sensation.
That's hilarious. :laugh:

From another thread:
When is April Fools day? :p
February 30th.

I work tomorrow morning, so I'd better be prepared (both to pull something and to avoid something). ;)
