Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult!
One year my dad kept the wednseday paper that had the winning lottery numbers in it from the tuesday night drawing then he went and played the same numbers for the weekend drawing which happened to be april 1st. When he showed them to us we never thought to check the date on the paper. My brother, mom and me went fucking nuts thinking that we just became millionaires. My mom didn't talk to him the rest of the day.

BPCFFB League #2 League Champion 2008 & 2010
I pulled a decent one last night. My girlfriend pulled a joke on me and I promised her pay back at work. I work in a nightclub and I was working in an upstairs room while she was working downstairs. I took a white bar rag and drenched it in grenadine (cherry juice) ..... I then had a bar back go and tell her that some crazy drunk girl cracked me in the head with a bottle. As he got her, I sat on some stairs in the alley, my head of security who is also a part time E.M.T. stood there holding the towel against my head and was repeating "it's gonna be ok".... my barback was sitting next to me on the stairs. While my girlfriend and the other barback came out the back door in to the alley, another security guard began jogging down towards us from the other end yelling "we got her". My girl rolls up and was like " who the fuck did this to you". I looked up at her and go "pay back is a bitch... April Fool's" She was steamed but impressed.

I've never done anything on April Fool's day, but once, at school, at a bunch of stupid freshmen left their lockers unlocked, w/ the locks hanging open. I switched and locked about 5 or 6 of them, and then watched the chaos ensue in the freshman hall, and the assistant principal get pissed at the freshmen,b/c he realized exactly what had happened.
Also, a guy stiffed me for mowing his lawn once, so I threw a bunch of vegetable seeds on his lawn after a rain, so he had lettuce annd carrots sprouting out of his lawn all summer.

RATT AND ROLL
When i was about 8, someone called my house saying there were from the local "Jeepers", which is like a big ass chuck. e. cheese's and said that i had won a N64. I was soo pumped and happy to finally realize that it was my neighbor who was just totally fucking with me. So about 6 months later on his birthday we gave him some fake lotto tickets. And of course the dumbass scratched the ticket and realized he won like 10 grand. He reaction was priceless he gave us all hugs and he was about to call his parents untill we told him to read the small print on the back of the card 
payback is certainly a bitch

Watson, Crick & A Twist
That Yahoo top ten list does have some classics.
The Spaghetti tree story would get shown pretty much every year - it was done totally deadpan, just perfect.
Must admit my favorite though is a toss up between the 168-mph fastball pitcher, trained in a Tibetan monastery and this one takes the cake, or at least a slice of Pi:

I did the following to one of my colleagues about 8 years ago. He is the statistician in our group, so when he arrived on campus on April 1st, he found a note that I left on his office door. Basically, I "took" an urgent message from the zoo and the zoo desparately needed his expert stats knowledge for a study on some apparent illness that was attacking some animals. I had on the note, "urgent", "call ASAP", etc. He immediately called the zoo and asked to speak to a Mr. Raffe. He was told that there was no one there by that name. He explained that he was needed for his stats expertise and that he needed to speak to a Mr. G. Raffe. He was told that he was a victim of a joke. As if calling the zoo and asking to speak to a Mr. G. Raffe isn't bad enough, he didn't get it at first. That made it even more special.
The next year, about a month before April 1, I installed a thermostat (fake, non-functioning) on his office wall, behind his door. I made sure to point out to him a week or so later that I never knew he had a thermostat on his wall, to which he told me he didn't either. On April 1st, I had the VP, who's office is 2 floors directly below my colleague's, call him and ask him to turn the thermostat down. The VP told him that his thermostat controlled the temps for 3 floors in that particular wing, and he believed it. He hopped up and turned it down. About an hour later, VP called and said that he turned it down too much, he needed to turn it back up. VP called him a couple more times during the day, had him adjusting this thermostat. I never told him that it was a joke, that the thermostat was a fake. I got more amusement out of him telling me how fucked up it was for the thermostat in his office to control temps on another floor.
When teaching at OSU, one Spring Quarter the first meeting of a class I taught met on April 1st. It was an algebra class for returning students and the anxiety level can be a little high for some of these students. Well, I walk in the 1st day with my Romanian textbook (yes, I have a minor in Romanian to go with a couple of math degrees) and, in Romanian, said, "Welcome to Romanian 111!" I showed them the book, informed them that we meet 2 hours/day every day since it is a 10 hour class. People were scrambling for their schedules, amazed that they were all in the wrong class. When one student headed for the door, I informed them of the April Fool's joke.

Sadly, in the late 1800's (circa 1897 IIRC) a state legislator in Indiana did introduce a bill that stated that pi was not an irrational number and was one of three possible numbers. As I recall, this legislator (and his moronic bill) "showed" that pi had a value of 3.2 or 3.23 or was about 4. (I believe those were the three numbers.)
