OK, so I'm a little behind but here's my favorite April Fool's Prank of all time . . .
In 1998 an author under the pseudonym April Holiday published an article saying the Alabama legislature was passing a law that Pi = 3.0. Here's the link to the full story, as published in Time Magazine,

My suggestion, print the article and see if you can get anyone to fall for the prank . . .
