One of my favorite pranks was the San Serriffe hoax done sometime in the 70s. You might try Googling it.
...
My own prank today was the following email sent to Tpop:
Hello Tpop. I have not been feeling well for the past couple of weeks and went to see my doctor yesterday. She took some blood and will have some testing done. At the same time she suggested a pregnancy test to which I said that would be impossible because you've had a vasectomy. She asked that I humor her. It came back positive.
(Of course he called right away to reiterate that he loved me and that he had not put on deodorant this morning and he was sweating. I laughed and told him April Fool and reminded him that he had had a vasectomy 8 years ago.) What a schmucky schmoo.
