Haha sure, I'll put together a quick top list of the best April Fool's pranks I've either given or received, and I'll post it as a comment here (I don't have any pictures unfortunately). Check back within 48 hours and it'll be posted here!

Okay FO-nTTaX, these are the top six April Fool’s jokes I’ve ever experienced, either done to me or done by me. (I couldn’t think of ten that were particularly phenomenal.) Some of these took a few hours, so it was convenient that my two younger brothers were in middle/ high school (and my mom teaching high school), while I was in college… I basically had 8 AM – 3 PM to complete any of these, if needed

6. I’ve switched all of my brothers’ clothes with all the food from our kitchen cabinets. I put all our canned goods and other non-perishables in their dressers, and they had to recover their underwear from the cookie drawer.

5. My family once flipped my bedroom upside-down. Nothing was glued to the ceiling or anything like that, but all my furniture and bed were flipped upside-down, my wall posters were re-taped upside down, etc.

4. My mom hates beets. With a passion. So naturally, I bought about a dozen cans of beets, emptied them into plates and the juices into cups, spread everything around her room, closed the windows and door and turned her fan on high. The smell was… incredible. She slept in my bed that night and forced me to sleep in hers, until the smell went away.

3. I switched my two brothers’ bedrooms. Completely. All of the furniture, clothes, toys, everything… I moved into the opposite room and repositioned them. They just lived in their “new” rooms for a few days before switching everything back.

2. Two years ago, my girlfriend and I decided to completely change our Facebook profile pictures, cover photos, relationship status, and everything else to imply that we had gotten engaged. Some people were a bit skeptical because of the date, but about a hundred people erred on the side of caution and congratulated us. After they found out it was officially a joke, a few of our friends insisted that we only get one “Congratulations on your engagement” post from them, so when we *actually* got engaged last year, they reminded us that we were already congratulated back on April 1st.

1. The exam review joke I pulled on my students, found here: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/447556-the-best-holidays

I've been very fortunate to have a family who takes these jokes in stride, and I take it as much as I give it when it comes to pranks

Gratz DPB. Now as a question, what is the least accurate movie you've seen in a mathematical sense. Major studio releases only, no B or C, straight to video mess.

Oooooh that's a good question! There are two absolute classics that come to mind when people ask me that question, in terms of specific math clips:

1. The Wizard of Oz. The scarecrow tries to show off by reciting the Pythagorean Theorem, but accidentally says that you need an isosceles triangle instead of a right triangle. I'm pretty sure it was a mistake (not purposely scripted wrong) that they just left in because they didn't care. If that wasn't bad enough, in the exact same "definition", he also says square root instead of square. Twice. So he's like... uber wrong. Here's the clip:



2. Good Will Hunting. One of my favorite movies of all time (math + Matt Damon + Robin Williams, holy shit!) has a plot that starts off with Will Hunting (Matt Damon) solving an incredibly hard math problem- while he's the janitor, not a student- that garners the attention of a math professor. Except the math problem is incredibly trivial; it's just disguised with some big words from graph theory. The solution isn't inaccurate or wrong, per se, but the problem is really, really easy to figure out. Here's the explanation for the clip:



Others...

3. I don't know how popular of a film this was, and it's technically not mathematically wrong, but in the movie Cube, an apparent math genius has to think long and hard about whether or not numbers that end in 5 or 2 are prime -_____-' Here's the clip:



4. Just for shits and giggles, here's a shitty movie (Mega Piranha) where a woman and man disagree on whether something is doubling in size every few days... or that something is growing exponentially:



5. I haven't seen the movie Pi, but according to Reddit:

"In the movie Pi (spoilers) the bad guys are looking for the name of God, which is apparently a 100-digit base-22 number written in the Hebrew alphabet.
At some point the main guy, a mathematical genius, says, "I'm sure you've written down every 100-letter name! I'm sure you've said them all!"
Yeah, you're sure.
If it took 1 second to say each permutation, and a million people constantly went through them without pause it would only take 5.5 * 10120 years...

and

"In the title sequence where it starts printing the decimals of "pi", it's wrong after like the 8th digit.

Check it. Movie shows:
3.14159265263
Real first digits of pi:
3.14159265358
For a movie CALLED "Pi" you'd think they would have gotten that right."
