If you're particularly unlucky, this morning your email inbox might have filled with weird press releases. Many of us will have been spared though, as April Fools' lands on a Saturday this year.
Here are some of the most popular April Fools' stories and tricks you might have seen while reading the news this morning, as well a few classics that pop up on Twitter every year. We hope you didn't fall for any of them.
