Happy April Fools Day! While we didn't actually plan out a prank of our own, we did find some nifty apps to help you prank your friends and ring in the first of April.

This has nothing to do with apps or your Mac. All you need to get to it is a browser. ThinkGeek's got an amazing array of silly gifts for your friends. They've even got this amazing Mini Apple Store Playset for all of your Genius Bar fantasies. It even lets you use your own real iPhone 4 as the screen behind Steve Jobs in the Keynote Theater. And you can buy an additional line pack that includes The Woz on a Segway. Today is amazing because it brings us products like these.
Use iFool to trick your friends who use your phone with preconfigured tricks. For example, load a background image to display while your friend picks up the phone, and then watch as it waves, ripples and shakes as he tries to tap the screen. You can also create really complex tricks that do different things when you're iPhone or iPod touch is shaken, like play a sound, and you can use a timer that plays an annoying sound periodically.
Reddit is undoubtedly going to explode on April Fool's Day with some hilarious link. Check out the endless internet memes and cruel jokes with this free app, and submit your own commentary.
