  • apophenic, on 04/01/2008, -0/+5You didn't actually read that one, did you?
  • ballsdeeep, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4Speaking of which, right now (03:10 EST), every YouTube feature is linked straight to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". No complaints here!
  • Wugie, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3I'm sorry, these were lame.
  • theeldest, on 04/01/2008, -1/+4We accidentally did the first one to my Grandma when she got a new refrigerator. We flipped the hinges, but forgot to do the handle. Then she called, wondering why it didn't open.
  • h0ser, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3EZTV has uploaded a fake copy of Lost as an april fools joke. I'm not amused.
  • DiFosfor, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2Wish I'd seen this one yesterday..
  • matude, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1tmp; dr?
  • mattnyc99, on 04/01/2008, -1/+2Just got peanuts--here comes an overflowing office... P.S. Instructables rocks!
  • bigbill780, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1I was always partial to the plastic wrap over the toilet myself...
  • jokeoftheday, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1I like the fridge one, gotta get that done at my office place.
  • debtman7, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1Yeah, what was that about? I don't think I've ever seen a shopping cart with a wheel lock. Of course that's pretty irrelevant as I can't imagine many offices have shopping carts laying around in the first place...
  • ieure, on 04/01/2008, -2/+2"tl; dr" would be appropriate.

  • SilverBlade2k, on 04/01/2008, -2/+1I liked the cracked screen image.
  • realillusions, on 04/01/2008, -1/+0"Cover the keyboard with some wet paper towels or toilet paper, then throw it all in a large plastic bag Don't worry, people have had success dishwashing their keyboards before, so some moist paper probably won't cause any permanent damage. "

    Uh, no.
  • ieure, on 04/01/2008, -2/+1Awesome.
  • AllINeed, on 04/01/2008, -5/+1Okay I'm going to sleep early so I can get one of these setup before people get into the office... maybe the green keyboard prank... thanks for the ideas :)
