Roots of April fools day are not known to this day, though there are some variations from where it stems. For example, it might be the April 1st in 1698 when many Londoners were tricked into coming to see "the Lions washed." It also might be as early 1381, when Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales were published, in which a depiction of Chauntecleer tricked by a fox took place on April the 1st. It doesn't really matter where this tradition comes from since it has gained worldwide popularity and gave us a chance to laugh with April fools pranks.

Best April fools pranks probably come from newscasters and newspapers. BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) once tricked the whole nation with their funny prank that spaghetti grows on trees in Switzerland. Or the hilariously good prank that Taco Bell played, assuring that they have bought the Liberty Bell, now to be known as Taco Liberty Bell. The best pranks, though, come in good spirits while causing no harm for the receiver (except being shamefully tricked, that is).

So if you are a fan of good April fools pranks, take a look at our compilation below. We don't advocate destroying people's property or hurting them (physically or mentally), but everything else is fair game! Happy pranking!

Ok, So you can try this at work or at home. It works really well if your a receptionist. Leave a message for your boss or for someone at home saying that a Mr. Lyon called, please call him back at your earliest convenience. Hears the funny part, leave the phone number for the local zoo! :-) Get it? Calling the zoo? Asking for Mr. Lion? Yuk yuk!

I did this to my 11th grade English teacher and I came back after I graduated my 2nd year if college to visit all my favorite teachers and she had the balloons on a poster explaining the hell I put her through. She called the principle out if a meeting and had two janitors there before she opened it and it was just this prank. After almost 5 years this simple prank made my teacher remember me. It may not work as well as it did for me, but it's a small easy prank that I highly recommend!

More work for whoever has to fill the cups and place them, than for whoever ends up dumping them out. Wasteful, too.
