...I told the US that Iraq was hiding weapons of mass distruction. Woops! :)

My mom smeared peanut butter in my dad's skiffies while he was in the shower...it was all dark yet...he went to work, then came home shortly after, sheepishly hating to admit that sometime during the morning he had shit his pants, but didn't know how or when...he couldn't remember doing it.

The only April Fools' prank I've ever pulled that I'm really proud of was when I was in high school. In those days, students had free reign on the computers in the computer lab. It was a science and tech school, so the administration trusted students not to screw things up, and that policy tended to work out well.

Of course, being a lover of pranks, I had to do something for April Fools'. So I wrote a little VB network app that would hide itself quietly on a networked machine and listen for commands from a master program. Early in the morning on April 1st, I installed the app on every computer in the lab, then installed the master program on a machine in the corner.

When the lab began to fill with students that afternoon, I sat down at the control machine. After making sure nobody was looking, I pressed a single button, and the CD-ROM trays of every computer in the lab suddenly opened and closed at the same time. The whole place got quiet as people tried to figure out if they'd just seen what they thought they had. I had a real hard time stifling my laughter, but I managed to keep quiet. About ten minutes later, once everyone had gotten back to what they were doing, I pressed the button again. Once again, the room became deathly quiet, and then someone said something about a virus and people started jabbering.

At that point, I had to run out of the room so I could let the laughter out. After school, I removed the program from all the computers and congratulated myself on a job well done.
