You are all fools. Good luck...

Yes, but kids invest effort to briefly annoy adults, so it's only fair to do the same.
I mean that the parents are the ones getting trouble out of it, not effort. Example, the soap and nail polish one. If the kid can't lather, they're gonna not bother. Yay, my kid didn't wash up? Win?

Ah, I see. Fact. That is more fun for an adult victim. I do like the helium balloon in the toilet, though. That would be so WTF...

So long as it's not the balloon in the cake. Depending on how the person reacts to surprises, that big sharp knife could end up somewhere it shouldn't.

You can make fake orange juice using the kraft cheese mixture you get with Mac and Cheese....

Totally looks like OJ.
 
So, anyone any interesting pranks? Funny, awesome, serious, tragically gone wrong,...?

The news' April Fools are horribly tame this year over here. There are two pandas in a zoo at the moment on a breeding project, some newspapers are reporting them as both female "OH NOES". *shrug*
Obama visited last week (and half the country was stopped. President Xi Jinping is in our country right now and nobody moved. Do these politicians and media not realize we trade more with China than the US since 2012?), and is coming back in June. Teenagers and students were asked to call in to the news studio with their interesting and intelligent questions - best ones would be posed to Obama.
I...I don't even see the joke. I read their "selection of questions", and honestly, quite a few of those would be interesting to hear the answer to. Some are fairly standard "questions from the crowd after a speech" style, and some are actually more interesting than anything any of the press asked him. Not to mention, having students call in for questions seems like a genuinely good idea, if they're vetted beforehand by the radio.
 
Reddit's come up with "Headdit", a way of browsing Reddit using head movements. Requires a webcam.

Google Maps has a Pokemon hunting minigame, accessible with mobile devices. It's actually pretty fun.

Crosspost from the Random Crap thread, but I sent a few of my friends a pic of my D for April Fools'....

 
The only joke I've seen worth chuckling over: A convention I'm going to, in a couple of weeks, just announced Richard Simmons and Paula Deen as special guests.

But, I'm also with @Dave, not a fan of April Fool's.
 
Even @Dave can't grouse too much about the elaborate effort xkcd.com put forth this year.
It's a Tuesday. I haven't visited yet.[DOUBLEPOST=1396366873,1396366794][/DOUBLEPOST]...And, besides a variation of yesterday's comic with some whitespace, I don't....see...anything special? Am I missing something?

That's what shows up in my rss feed but when I go to the site, it is an interactive comic that you can build yourself.
