Mentioned here with Top 10 most memorable April Fool Day 2008 Pranks & Hoaxes.

1. Placed a pair of pants and shoes inside the only toilet stall in a men’s room to make it appear someone was using the stall. It sat there for hours until someone called security to check if the person had died.

2. Sent a fake love note to a co-worker from another co-worker.

3. All the women in office individually spoke to the president, confiding that she is pregnant. By noon, he ‘knew’ that all of his female workers were pregnant and he could not tell anyone because each asked for confidentially.

4. Called the electric company, used a co-worker’s name and told them he was moving so the electricity got turned off at the co-worker’s house.

5. Filled the vending soda machine with cans of beer.

6. Rigged the boss’ chair to drop suddenly during a staff meeting.

7. Placed a sign on the restroom door that read, “The company ran out of toilet tissue; please use your own resources.”

8. Paged a co-worker over the loud speaker claiming the CEO was looking for him. The worker went into the CEOs office and the CEO didn’t know who he was or why he was there.

9. Shrink-wrapped everything in a co-worker’s cubicle.

10. Put a ‘house for sale’ ad in the newspaper regarding a co-worker’s home

Let’s see.. a little late, but forgivable.

1: Not an uncommon one, and if properly done, can be very good. Bonus points for an obviously ‘male’ set of shoes and pants in the ladies’ room.

2: Not a prank, but a cruel trick. Possible repercussion could lead to someone getting fired.

3: I’m pretty certain any boss worth their salt would catch on by #3, and employers aren’t priests, so they can go tell whoever they want to if it’s concerning the company.

4: Again, a cruel trick. What about the coworker’s prized aquarium when the power goes out? The food in their fridge?

5: NOT a good idea, especially if you work in a school.

6: Borderline cruel trick, as it would cause a safety hazard. Better would be for it to lower *slowly* over the course of the meeting.

7: Mm.. Very droll. Meh.

8: Meh.

9: Decent, but it’s starting to lose its originality.

10: Again, cruel trick territory, though not too bad.

All in all, not terrifically impressive.

1. Ditto Robin

2. Ditto Robin

3. Meh.  And ditto Robin

4. Rather hard to do nowadays with needed verification to do anything with a utilities account (in the U.S. at least).  And if you have all the information needed to do this you might as well steal the person’s identity and ruin their credit.  That would be even funnier! LOL [/sarcasm]

5. Hard to do unless you have the key to the vending machine.  Usually only the vendor who actually stocks the machine would have it.  And if you do have the key it’s just that much easier to pin on you.  And discipline you for doing something like that at the work place.

6. Ditto Robin.  Though even Robin’s idea is meh (though still better than the original).

7. Not very good for an April Fool’s joke.  Rather just a stupid prank you could pull anytime.  No one is going to believe it regardless.  (At least not with the wording you used.)

8. The CEO couldn’t hear the loudspeaker?  And meh.

9. *Yawn*

10. Much better to go with #4 above, steal their identity, ruin their credit and make them go into foreclosure.  Then you could buy their house for cheap at auction. rolleyes

And I’m tempted to call your post spam.  Your other post probably was.
