Nobody knows the exact origin of April Fools Day, but the best guess puts it around 1582 when France adopted the Gregorian Calendar, which moved New Years to January first, but not all were willing to change.

Pranks, like the ones mentioned, are classic and Google does amazing ones on its homepage every year.

One legendary prank was pulled on Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, when his staff took apart his VW Beetle and rebuilt it inside his office.

Just think, since the 1600s the current “everybody” heard about the pranks and they didn’t have Twitter to spread the word or Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest on which to share the results.

Please share your pranks below.
