April 1 is April Fools' Day: 8 Easy Pranks

Pranksters everywhere are hard at work. Today is April Fools’ Day, the one day of the year when playing tricks on others is not only expected, but also somewhat encouraged.

Are you planning to prank someone today? Tell us in the comments.

If you are planning to prank a family, friend or co-worker, please play nice and consider some of these relatively harmless ideas:

Tape magnets to the bottom of an empty coffee cup, and attach it to the top of your car. Laugh at all the people who frantically try to get your attention as you drive by. – April Fool Zone 

Superglue some coins to the sidewalk or any spot that gets a lot of traffic. Make sure it's an appropriate place, then watch people try to get the coins. – Kidz World

“Foil” a co-worker - Instructables

Guyism offers several April Fools’ Day suggestions:

• Borrow someone’s cell phone and change the language setting to a foreign language.
• Add several odd appointments with alarms set to go off during the day to a coworker’s Outlook or Google calendar.
• Hide all of the desktop icons on someone’s computer and replace the monitor’s wallpaper with a screen-shot of their desktop.
• Place a small piece of Post-it note over the ball under someone’s computer mouse so that it won’t work.
