Default April Fool's Day

Hey guys, I just wanted to start a topic on this day to see if you have any pranks or have pranked anyone in the past. I know sites like Youtube and Google get on it as well.

As a joke I challenged my buddy to a chilli cook off contest, and then I killed his parents, ground them up and FED THEM TO HIM.

BHAHUWHAHAHAHAH



Edit: In WW2 didn't they set up that inflatable army originally in the north of England and then Patton was sent there as punishment for slapping a shell shocked soldier and telling him to buck up?

Hitler was fooled into thinking the attack must come from the north because they wouldn't waste their #1 general.. then bam!

Man I find the Sun absolutely unreadable. And what is up with that sunshine girl? Do they still have that? That chick usually looks more like a man than a woman. Absolutely horrific. Of all the women we have in Calgary, they have to get pictures of the ugliest, manly women out there. Sickens me.

Got some pm's from other CP posters that were interested

We did a pretty good one today. My site is a cruise ship related site that allows people to create vacation tickers with a cruise ship illustration and a countdown clock. There are like 25 000 of them out there on blogs and in forum signatures.

We replaced everyones with these:

I handed in a letter of resignation. I started off the conversation with my boss with "I know it's April Fool's, so this is terrible timing, but..."

We've had a few resignations lately, and I'm the last of my role remaining, so he's terrified of me leaving. He bought it hook line and sinker.
