OT: MGoAprilFools
There was some chatter on another thread about April Fools pranks, and it seemed like a good idea to open a thread revealing what April Fools pranks people have on tap for today.
Also, please post any memorable April Fools pranks from years past. My daughter set a low bar this a.m. with a pretty unicorn sticker on my coat - I'm thinking the higher bar would be along the lines of an Eastbound and Down twin prank.
So - whatcha got?
My all-time favorite is to wait for a coworker who smokes to go outside for a smoke break and leave their PC unlocked. Go to their PC and take a screenshot of whatever they had up.
Then basically take every icon and move them to a folder thats barely visable off the screen and replace their desktop wallpaper with the screenprint you took.
Considering the deletion of an MGoBlogger's thread about a fictional serious injury to one of Michigan's star football players, are there any April 1 posting guidelines for MGoBloggers? For example, would any of these have been considered acceptable?

I've been thinking that The Onion might've ruined April Fools pranks and jokes forever.
a picture of a sonogram photo of "my new baby on the way" to FB. Left in some Easter Eggs that were pretty obvious like date and the name of the mother (NOT my gf...but I guess still possible!).
Who knew that there's a Museum of Hoaxes? http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/aprilfool/index

even knowing that article was a joke, it made me very uncomfortable to read it! :(

One of my best friends played a little pre-April Fools joke on Shannon Hogan yesterday during the Tigers broadcast. Way to go "Tito"
