One funny story was when a guy switched all the salt and sugar containers in his office kitchen on April Fools' Day. People were having some really strange-tasting coffee and tea that day! Another was a girl who put a fake bug in her roommate's bed. The roommate jumped and screamed when she saw it. There was also the time someone changed the language settings on their friend's phone to a really rare language, and the friend was so confused trying to figure out how to change it back.
A really memorable April Fools' prank was when a coworker set up a fake 'office ghost'. He made spooky noises and moved things around when no one was looking.

The kids were so excited and spent hours trying to get the dog to 'talk'. And there was a prank where someone replaced the shampoo in their roommate's bathroom with hair dye. Their roommate ended up with very colorful hair!

Well, there was that time when a major news outlet reported that a local zoo's penguins had learned to fly. It was all in good fun for April Fools' Day.

One theory is that it dates back to 1582 in France. When France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Day was moved from April 1st to January 1st.

Others made fun of them, and this gradually became the tradition of April Fools' Day.
