What Dirty Tricks Did You Use for April Fool's?
zxnos asks: "What evil, underhanded, dirty mean trick did you pull on April Fool's Day? Since I arrive in the office first, I wrote a little routine to go off when my coworkers tried to open the application that we all work in. It said: "Sorry, you arrived late for work today. The application you have requested is unavailable." The only response was 'OK' and would then close the application. What did you do?"
Spammed Slashdot with so many fake stories (and dupes of them!) that nobody could tell if there was any "suff that matters" for the day!
- Us
Through some devious tricks (compare user's ip-address against a range of ip's where a friend of mine usually comes online from), i had a fake newsarticle show up on a popular Counter-Strike website.
;)
:P
While the article was vague on details, it essentially said that my friend was going to be replaced (he's the manager of one of the top-teams, sadly).
Of course, I topped it off with a small picture saying he was owned thoroughly
Apparently, he had his phone up, ready to call the people mentioned in the article before he saw my picture...
"I really hate you right now. I've never had such a shock. I don't wanna talk. *click*"
That's how a phone-conversation went five minutes later
Tiny little pieces of tape on the bottom of optical mice. Clear tape futzes them up, solid tape renders them useless.
I showed up for work. On time. Showered & shaved.
It THOROUGHLY confused people. They are still talking about it.
*Why do you want to betray someone that has trust in you? I guess I just don't get it anymore.*
and there you fail to see the reason for april 1st to exist, it's a social contract that on that day - and that day only - you're allowed to fool someone just for laughs and they can still trust you for the rest of the year.
i was just too lazy to do any tricks. and well, i'm the kind of a bastard that forwards people to the ah so famous "i'm watching gay porno" site for a joke on a normal day anyhow too.
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
my roommate took a nap at about 11am, so i turned all of the clocks (including his phone) forward 4 hours. he woke up about 1 (and had a test at 2), but was freaking out because it showed 5. he was thinking about excuses he could tell his prof and then how he might have to explain to his parents that he'd have to drop the class. i eventually couldn't stop laughing and told him. he was probably about beat the shit out of me :)
