I have to confess that I don't understand the series of pictures above.

But to offer a suitable April Fool joke, I profer the classic 1957 BBC "Spaghetti grows on trees" ( excuse the slow start):

I am flying to New Orleans on April 1st. I sure hope the pilot isn't going to be pulling any pranks like in that movie Flight where they flew upside down and junk...

My youngest was born on April 1st.. The joke was/is on us!

..good kid. I jest!

I have to confess that I don't understand the series of pictures above.

It's just that every time they go to open up Internet Explorer, they are actually telling the computer to shut down.

Other infamous April Fools Tech pranks are:

• Taking a snapshot of the desktop, setting that as the desktop background, and choosing to NOT display desktop icons. They'll think it's their regular desktop with the picture of the icons, but can't click anything
• Tape the bottom of the mouse where the optic is, the mouse won't move
• Control Alt Down Arrow - flips the monitor upside down
• Bringing back the good ol' Rick Roll, disquise any link to take you to Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up" youtube video

NOTE.... if you are the Computer Tech in the work place, and you perform these pranks, it only means you are the one that will have to reverse them. It just depends how much work you want to give yourself.

Dang, today snuck up on me.

I posted a flier on every door in my neighborhood / ward late last night with a flier advertising a reward for a missing air-guitar and asked my neighbors to contact my friend Jerry with any information in regards to his missing air-guitar's whereabouts.

There are a bunch of pranks taking places at my office today. I should have more videos soon. They pranked my buddy, his office is on the other side of a conference room from mine. Live chicks and bunnies!!!
