The craziest April Fool's Day jokes

Watch out, you're about to get pranked. It's April 1, the one day of the year when the funsters of this world enjoy taking the mickey and duping those gullible enough to take the bait.

Here are some of the April Fool's Day jokes doing the rounds.

CELEBRITIES STRIPPED BARE

Have you ever wondered what Chris Hemsworth looks like naked? Well, obviously. Now's the time to get down to Madame Tussauds Sydney. For today only, the legendary wax museum is getting all risque on us by opening up a special adults-only room. The 50 Shades of Wax experience will reveal what celebrities look like stripped bare, reports News.com.au.

Dan Porter, Studios and Operations Manager, of Madame Tussauds Sydney said the decision to open the new adults-only zone was made as a result of suggestive questions from guests.

"We lose count of how many people ask us if the wax figures are made to scale and if all the measurements were correct," he said.

"We thought it was time to remove the mystery by showcasing exactly what the celebrities look like for our inquisitive guests.

The new experience is open after hours for adults only and tickets will cost $69 per person.

The world-famous attraction will switch the figures each week to ensure guests have ample opportunities to see their favourite celebrities in all their glory. For tickets, visit www.madametussauds.com.au

In an Australian-first, Sea Life Sydney Aquarium is now providing staff with water desks. Effective from today, the new program will see staff donning their wetsuits and working from the aquarium's feature tanks in a bid to diversify work arrangements and increase productivity.

Richard Dilly, General Manager of Sea Life Sydney, said staff members had given the new office set-up a thumbs-up.

"It's time to bid farewell to standing desks. Humans have a natural affinity to water as it provides a sense of calm and clarity – two sentiments that are vital to productivity and worker satisfaction," he said.

"Swimming also builds endurance and cardiovascular fitness while providing an all-over body workout, plus it's fun! We figured we already have the aquatic resources, so why not test the waters?"

Staff opting for a swimming desk session must first pass a comprehensive swimming assessment to ensure the new opportunity operates swimmingly and staff don't find themselves in troubled waters.
