Me, I'm tired of all the clichéd April Fools stuff. I'm waiting until September to do my pranking i.e., using liquid nitrogen to freeze shaving cream in the can, cutting the cans open and then tossing the blocks of compressed shaving cream into my prankee's cars so they can come out a car filled with foam.

Never, EVER give me ideas like that! (thank you)

Well, besides the one I pulled today...

I used to sell corporate video conferencing equipment. I had one of my friends pretend to be our warehouse manager and call my boss pretending that all our inventory was stolen.

She was completely fooled, yet suprisingly, didn't find it very funny.

Where the hell are you going to get liquid nitrogen? I know where I can get some as my work always has a couple hundred gallons, but where do other people acquire it legally?

Google says welding supply places can get you it. Also: close proximity to a decent school physics or chemistry department.

There are several places. Lots of colleges have some, and you could always make it yourself, with a little resoucefulness.

Good luck with that. I think you'd have trouble getting it from a school LEGALLY.

Also, as far as making it yourself. That I'd like to see....from a different room........ behind bulletproof glass....

Or if you have access to their computer and they have XP drop a shortcut to "%windir%system32shutdown.exe -r -t 00" in their start-up folder*. It will make the computer shut down as soon as they log in.

Edit: additionally, you could follow these steps:
1. Go into the Control Panel.
2. Open the Regional and Language Options.
3. Click the Languages tab.
4. Choose Details.
5. Add your keyboard layout of choice.
6. Remove the old U.S. layout.

*thanks TechTV.

We used to have a radio station here, they were well-established and had been around for quite a few years: WSHE, She's only rock n roll. They made this huge announcement that they were changing their name to W_HE, He's only rock n roll. The people were calling in so pissed off. Hilarious.

But the best one I've heard was on another radio station morning show. They said that the phone company was going to "clean out" the phone lines. They were going to blow air at a crazy pressure through the phone lines in order to blow out the "dust and stuff". The thing is, before you leave for work in the morning you have to make sure you tightly secure your phone in a plastic bag. Otherwise all the "dust and stuff" is going to fill your house. You can imagine the people calling after they were already at work... classic! :mrgreen:

Only an idiot would fall for that phone line one.
