I need a few ideas for April fool's day.

One of my favorites is in the office... I'll plug my wireless mouse into the back of their computer when they're not looking and every time they move the mouse I move it another direction. Wait for them to open programs and then close them. Wait for them to start typing and click so they type somewhere else. Eventually come clean when they're about to go see the IT guys :)

Take a screenshot of their desktop, set that screenshot at the background, then delete all the shortcuts.

You can also do the same while flipping the image and inverting all controls :D

Or just go with the classic and put clingfilm over the toilet.

Go to friends house when they're not there. Remove the labels from all their canned goods. Then go to the cupboard where all their plates and dishes are stacked up high and fill the top one in each stack up with water.

Surely the point is that great minds don't think alike?

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Or something.

I think there was some woman who started out consuming invertebrates as a remedy for capturing other invertebrates she'd consumed, eventually working her way up the evolutionary ladder. Apparently this was unsuccessful. I blame the education system.

Yes, truly tragic.

Not unlike the case where another elderly citizen was shunned and ostracised by society, to the extent that she had to live in a giant shoe.

The details escape me, but I seem to recall she was a single parent and had many offspring from several fathers. Social security gave her a meagre pittance on which to survive, but the best she could muster was a thin, watery 'stew'. She could not even afford anything to dunk in said stew, such as bread.

She must have been at her wits end, which would explain the ultimate charge of child neglect. The physical and emotional damage on her children must have been significant.

If only her house was a boot, rather than a shoe, then maybe she could have utilised the available bootstraps.

When will society realize that footwear as housing won't help with overburdened parents? This only heightens the abuse and nutritional issues the children face.:mad:
