And my manager had answered the phone. Anyways we all had to leave the building for the police to arrive. Having found nothing it was classed a false alarm. The police traced back the call and found it belonged to a 14 year old kid who made april fools pranks to 20+ places. Now that was way over the top!

I'm a huge fan of these and you might enjoy reading a fun one I pulled 11 years ago when we announced that Al Gore and Bill Gates were coming to speak at the Rocky Mountain Internet Users Group - see: http://rmiug.org/html/meetings/1996/meet_1996_04_01.html Remember they weren't quite demi-gods yet and the Internet was in its infancy with celebs jumping on board ... so while it was a stretch, it was semi-believable ... the best type of hoax/prank. This actually caused quite a bit of stir as it got forwarded to who knows how many people ... and we had finally had to come clean when the Denver mainstream media started calling Redmond about ... uhhhh ... Bill Gates' visit! ;-) Another nice job on April Fools Matt …
