Happy April Fools Day! Hah!  fooled you, no, you haven't massively overslept or bought a faulty calendar. It's not until next week. Maybe a day where it's acceptable, if not encouraged,  to play jokes on people should have lost it's shine at around the same time that we stopped scratching band logos into our pencil cases and tippexing slogans onto our rucksacks. But there's something charming about the way everyone from international newspapers to search engines join in. And there are worse ways to spend a morning than tracking down the joke stories in the papers (WARNING: playing this game with the Daily Mail or similar can lead to crushing depression when you realise that the story you thought was hilarious satire is actually completely serious) But just like the scouts we like to be prepared. So let's take a look at some of our favourite April Fools...

1. I've never been any good at pranks. I appreciate a well-executed practical joke but things that look like they're designed to take the piss out of our humiliate someone make me uncomfortable. And I don't have the planning skills/patience to set up elaborate hoaxes. One of the simplest but best I saw was when some students at a school I attended managed to get a cow to the third floor. Turns out cows can go up stairs...but not down.Squeamish Louise

2. While there are many many companies that do very good April Fools Jokes - Google is usually pretty good - I do think the internet is ruining April Fool's Day by turning it into a way for companies to virally market. I miss the days where there were one or two fake stories in a paper, or a single joke advert - these days it's harder to find the one company that isn't trying to get in on the joke!

3. I've never had the guts to do this one, well more the desire to be responsible for clearing up the mess. It's a classic prank but I don't think I have actually met someone who has executed the old cling film-over-the-toilet-bowl trick, with the cling film pulled tight under the seat to make an invisible layer. Then some poor half asleep flatmate comes along tries to do a pee (we hope!) and it goes absolutely everywhere. Hilarity ensues! Squeamish Nicola

4. Probably the best April Fool you can pull off is that you totally did NOT fall for that April Fool. No sir. Not you. April humouring that's what you were doing. Hah! Ha ha! Ha! Squeamish Kate

5. Has there ever been a better April Fool than the spaghetti trees? The only possible contender I can think of is the discovery of San Serriffe, and not just because it will be the future capital of Kateland. I might have to call in the nutbags behind the Jumeira Palm and World resorts in Dubai so I can reclaim enough land from the sea, but I like the concept of a globe littered with marks of punctuation. Ties in nicely with my plan to make everyone live in alphabetical order. [Note: I am entirely serious about this, and not April Fooling you at all. FEAR KATELAND!] F1 Kate
