After being inspired by this pic in the Funny Pic thread I thought it might be interesting to share some ideas for pranks for April 1. Any ideas on how to share the spirit of the day?

I'm just happy it's on a Sunday this year so I won't have to deal with bad jokesters at the office.

The internet has really ruined April Fool's Day, every website suddenly thinks they're as cleaver as The Onion and it's pretty much impossible to read a regular article that's not a half baked attempt at satire.

Last year's April Fools was the best. We have an older gent in the office who eats either Swansons microwave meals or a meat pie every day. For A.F. we carefully opened up hi meat pies so as not to destroy the packaging and replaced each of them with a loonie-sized mini quiche. He didn't tuck into the meat pies until later that week which added to the confusion since it wasn't April Fools. He just couldn't wrap his head around what the heck happened that would have produced such a tiny meat pie.
We also did the old red onions under the work chair. An hour of that and the whole cubicle smells like B.O.

That's a classic! You don't know how well it works until you actually do it to somebody, but it's pretty awesome. Especially when they move around and it wafts up, kinda like how BO would if you were moving around.
“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no,' I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

I work in an office and a buddy and I always pull stupid jokes on one another. Usually we just hide old food around each other’s desk and don’t discover it until months after. Usually when it looks like nothing it originally did. Pickles, oranges, and most recently a bag of Peters Drive in french fries. It's been sitting behind his computer tower since Halloween, and he still hasn’t found it. I'm scared to know what it looks like now.

Probably looks the same....and edible too most likely.
An easy and harmless prank I did once was to zip tie the levers on the office chairs. So when a person sits down, the chair goes down. Then they stand up and the chair goes up.
My old boss used to live a block away from me, so before I went to bed I tied tin cans to his bumper. He started work a half hour before me, so I found those tin cans on my driveway when I went to work... but it freaked him out first.
Another year we talked for weeks about what we were going to do to each other around the office. I did nothing. People were on edge all day waiting to happen upon my prank that never came.
Once, I changed the default new mail sound on a person's computer to play a song by The Wiggles. The poor guy couldn't figure out why he was randomly hearing a children's song playing on his PC. It took him most of the day to correlate the song to new email.
Tape across the bottom of optical/laser mice. I did this more than one time throughout the year. My old boss kept throwing away the mice and ordering cheap replacements, so I decided not to tell him what really was happening. Too bad he was an IT guy.
I always like to print screen people's computers at work, set it as the wallpaper, move all the shortcuts to a hidden folder and lower the taskbar so they can't click the start button.
Makes for hours of fun at the office.

I used to have a friend who worked as an auto mechanic. One April fools day his boss wanted my friend to do an oil change on his car. While changing the oil he disconnected the hoses for the washer fluid and bent it so it would be pointing to the drivers crotch area of his pants. Anyhoo boss drives home and decides his windshield needs cleaning and volia he gets a squirt of washer fluid. He shows up the next morning wanting to know how he got washer fluid on his pants
