First a famous April Fool prank from 1998:
• MIT students hacked the school’s site to proclaim that the school had been bought by a well-known entertainment conglomerate.
And a couple of great April Fool hoaxes:
2013 – Teleportation Machine. The University of Michigan College of Engineering demonstrates a teleportation machine.
• 2019 – The Flat Earth Globe. Behold an Earth that does not spin and is not spherical. http://hoaxes.org/af_database/permalink/flat_earth_globe
Finally, a group of serious (no fooling) milestones on April 1:

• 1960 – The first weather satellite was launched.
• 1976 – Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne founded Apple Computer.
