Every year it seems to be a contest to see who has the funniest, most clever April Fool's pranks and hoaxes... the internet makes it super easy to fool a ton of people at one time and even though it's April Fool's Day, our reality is so silly that sometimes it's hard to tell right away if what you're looking at is real or an April Fool's day joke. Here are some of our favorite pranks of the day!
