April Fool's Day and Anytime Pranks and Practical Jokes

From ZUG, "The World's Only Comedy Site" (they must've read my blog), comes a big array of stunts and put-ons to goose your family and friends. Several of the articles are original stories of actual pranks, providing snort-out-loud reading.

Here's what you'll find -- and we should stress most of these gags are employable throughout the year, not just on April Fool's Day.

• Prank Your Friends with free Fools Tools computer tricks, like Random Burper, The Finger, Screen Screw, Mouse Droppings, and Fake Shutdown. Also, try the Printer Pranks, by simply leaving assorted goofy flyers around for others to discover.
• Corporate Pranks include amusing Outgoing Mail, telephone calls, and the disgustingly happy Olestra test.
• Chatroom Pranks on AOL users and an escaped mental patient.
• Prank Stories instigated and reported by ZUG host John Hargrave, among them: The Macworld Prank, The Birthday Prank, and The Gopher Prank.
• Holiday Pranks, most involving pumpkins. Also, learn how to annoy Santa.

Some items are colorfully descriptive with tacky content. I didn't care. I was laughing.

The ZUG Prank-tacular!
