I just read an article online entitled "Top 10 April Fools' Pranks for Nerds." My absolute favorite is the Newton Virus. Watch it work here:

April Fools
It's been a very long time since I pulled an April Fool's prank. The only successful one to my recollection was when I told my fourth grade teacher she'd dribbled ice cream on her shirt at lunch and then did the "tweaked nose gag" when she looked down.
I have been slack in introducing David to the big holidays. I forgot about Valentines, St Patrick's Day, and Easter until they were right upon us. I forgot those, why would I remember April Fools Day? And yet, by happenstance, David pulled a fantastic prank on us.
I got out of bed late this morning and scurried to grab a quick shower before Nathan left for work, but the water was taking forever to warm up. I mean FOREVER. I was totally baffled and mentioned it to Nathan. He twiddled with the fixtures a bit and was just as baffled, especially after trying the bathroom sink and also getting cold water when it was turned all the way to hot. What could be wrong, we wondered? We had hot water last night.... I was about to suck it in and take a cold shower, and then I remembered... David was playing in the garage yesterday and must have tampered with the thermostat on the hot water heater. A trip down there confirmed my suspicions. The temp was turned way lower than "vacation." I could have run that shower for hours and it would never have gotten any hotter. I didn't have time to wait an hour for the water to heat up again, so I just decided to skip the shower.
