  1. My favorite April fool's day hoax was the taco liberty bell becuase so many people believed them and it got across to alot of people. People were even mad about the whole deal because they didnt't want them to re name the bell because it was a national treasure. You know it is a good hoax when so many people believe it and et angry over it.

  2. my favorite april fools day hoax would be number 14 the body of nessie found. Now if your dumb enough to pull a stupid prank like this you are really stupid many people do believe in nessie and to think pulling a stunt like that would get you in alot of trouble with the locals that live near loch ness because many believe that nessie is alive. And these people who tried this hoax should do community service to pay for their actions.

  4. Out of the top 100 April fool's jokes I would have to say that #67 Life on Jupiter is the best one. It happened in 1996 and a message on AOL said that scientist just found out that there was life on jupiter. That instant when people read tis message there was 1,300 messages on AOL.
