I'm thinking of pulling some sort of prank for one of my classes for April Fools Day... Any good ideas that wouldn't break any cultural taboos or make students cry? Thanks.

That's awesome. I had a teacher tell me once about something similar. Except it was a massively long and hard test with no time limit. Apparently most people in the class did the whole thing that got to the end and were none too pleased.
