Gardening Techniques
In Tropical Climates - Ferns

When deciding to create a wonderful tropical garden to help... APRIL FOOLS!!! Gotcha (laugh maniacally to fade)! April Fools is coming around for everyone to let out their evil prankster twin. However, past years' pranks have been lacking creativity and thoroughness. Here are a few pranks designed to extract the most embarrassment from your target, let it be your boss, your life-partner or just anyone who likes to get on your not-so-forgiving side.

  1. Learn from the Mafia and try the ol' horse's head routine. Replace perhaps, with snakes or Michael Jackson.
  2. Nail the target's door shut.
  3. Change every calendar in the office to March 31st and catch everyone who pull the pranks "on the wrong day". Declare that the proper punishment is to douse them in rotten eggs.
  4. Sell the target's car, house or mother. Leave a little message saying, "IOU... APRIL FOOLS LOSER!"
  5. Get their face put on Australia's (or America's or whatever) Most Wanted.
  6. Bribe a mortician to borrow a corpse for a day. Put it in your place in bed, send him to board meetings or push him off buildings, watch him splat (somewhat) and give the traditional shout for the day: "APRIL FOOLS! HE WAS ALREADY DEAD!"
  7. Take off someone's door and install it backwards, essentially locking them in their own house.
  8. Tape up a telephone so people smack themselves in the head with it. But as an extra, put super-glue on the receiver.
  9. Scream "SADDAM HAS FIRED THE ROCKETS!!!" every ten minutes, especially at the office, in the street or at an old people's home.
  10. Nail the sheets of someone to the bed so they can't get out of bed.
  11. Remove the target's steering wheel.
  12. Turn off the office's, university's or school's network server.
  13. Get the target's trousers. Cut a line along the butt of it. It's practically invisible, but the split opens up wide for all to see when they bend over or put their hands in their pocket.
  14. Glue a note to someone's desk.
  15. Rearrange all the keys on someone's keyboard.
  16. Turn up to a bank, wield a shotgun and yell, "Everybody be cool, this is a robbery!" (I love Pulp Fiction) Then reply, "APRIL FOOLS!" Beware that the police might also say this to you when they throw you in prison.
  17. Cut the inside wires in a computer wire, so that it's severed, but invisible. Watch the techies scratch their head in confusion as everything is okay, but it still won't work.
  18. (This has to be done a while in advance) Compose a love letter and send it off to the target, telling them to meet you, with a packet of sifted icing sugar (for the kinky lovemaking), at a designated place. Then, on the day, inform the police of a drug transaction. Visit them at the prison and give them the "APRIL FOOLS!"
  19. Connect a high voltage current to the target's door knob.
  20. If you're a boss, declare a wage rise for everyone. Also declare that the rest of the week is a holiday. When everyone catches on that it isn't the real you, laugh maniacally and say, "APRIL FOOLS! I WASN'T LYING! YOU'RE ALL FIRED HAHAHAHAHA!"
  21. Don't turn up to work. When your bomb demolishes the office, you can give the standard April Fools cry.
  22. For the ultimate in April Fools pranks, remove one section of the highway and quickly say, "April Fools!" when each car plummets over the edge. Make sure its at rush hour.
  23. Spike the office water and coffee. Spike with alcohol, Ecstasy or truth serum.
  24. "Borrow" a shopping trolley and visit the library. Fill up with books and walk straight through those new anti-theft gates, tip the books out the front door and laugh maniacally. This is great because the librarians will have to put the books back through the anti-theft gates, setting off the alarm for each book.
  25. Pizza stores reckon they're sooo good. Instead of ringing up for a false order, walk straight in and order 20 take-away pizzas, all quite repulsive. Then slap your forehead and "go get your wallet from the car". Drive away, giving the cry.
  26. Pretend to have a heart attack and shout, "April Fools" to all the people who turn up to your funeral. Make sure you're not getting cremated or shot into space.
  27. Promise to donate half a million dollars to a disabled children's charity. On the stage, yell, "APRIL FOOLS" and watch about 50 kids dreams die in a explosion of your laughs.
  28. Disable the office's elevators. Put tonnes of oil on the stairs.
  29. Go to an acupuncturist. As he/she inserts the last needle, scream loudly, jump up, flail around and scare off all other patients.
  30. Blow up the town dam. You know what to say when the town is drowned under millions of tonnes of water.
  31. Ring up a radio psychiatrist. Try to bring everyone to tears and then give the standard cry.
  32. Get those freaky snake eye contact lenses. When someone goes to talk to you, shriek and say, "Our invasion has been thwarted! Eek! Eek! Beam me up!"
  33. Stage an elaborate deadly virus outbreak.
  34. Get the target's bedroom moved down the street, or even better, in Portugal or Alaska.
  35. Plug up the target's bathroom airtight. Turn on all the taps the night before as you take them out to dinner. If you're really sophisticated, do this for the entire house. (The next morning, the target, in a drunken stupor, wakes up in the gutter outside his house. He opens up his front door to a scene from Jumanji)
  36. Get a skywriter to write the phrase, "(target's name) is gay". Try to get it broadcast across TV, radio and newspapers.
  37. Inform about two of your fellow classmates or coworkers that they better be ready for today's fancy dress day.
