Today is April Fool's Day, meaning many people will be playing practical jokes and tricks on the unaware.
It's an annual tradition in many countries across the world and sees families, friends and co-workers enjoying harmless fun.
While some pranksters may have been planning their April Fool's jokes for a while, others may be looking inspiration.

Below is a list of 10 easy ideas to play on your family, friends or co-workers today.
1. Freeze breakfast
If you're preparing breakfast for someone else, fill a bowl with cereal and milk, half-submerge a spoon and then put it in the freezer.
Serve it up to your victim and watch as they struggle to work out why they can't budge the spoon or eat their breakfast.
2. Swap cereal
For a quick and easy breakfast prank, just swap over two (or more) bags of cereal before your household gets up in the morning.
You could even replace your victim's favourite cereal with rice or pasta to really confuse them when they attempt to pour themselves a bowl.
3. Typing dots gif text
If you can't see your friends and family in person this April Fool's Day, you can still prank them remotely.
Start up a friendly text conversation with one of your friends, then halfway through send them a gif of the typing dots. They'll be waiting for a text that will never arrive.
4. Spider light silhouettes
You could cut out spider shapes from black paper, and put them inside a lampshade. When the light gets turned on, it will look like there's a huge spider waiting to pounce.
For those feeling artistic, other options are cutting out huge cockroaches or scorpion shapes that will really terrify your victim.
5. Funny water
If you've got food colouring lying around, wipe some on the underside of your kitchen or bathroom tap spout under where the water comes out.
This will dye the water as it flows out of the tap, giving your unsuspecting victim a shock.
6. Swap beds
If you've got young children and they're heavy sleepers, pick them up and move them into a different bed after they've dozed off.
They'll be very confused when they wake up in the morning.
7. Fake tattoo
This is a good prank if you're tech savvy, and good with photo editing. Text a family member and tell them you've had a tattoo done in their honour.
Edit a picture of yourself so it looks like you've got a large tattoo of their name somewhere conspicuous - like your face, neck or forearm. To make it even better, make sure there's a spelling error or mistake in the 'tattoo'. They won't know how to tell you you've made such a permanent mistake.
8. Change clocks
Change all the clocks in your house - including your family's devices - moving them forward one hour.
When everyone wakes up, they'll think they've overslept and are late for work or school.
9. Glass half full
Lay breakfast out for your household in the morning - but with everybody's drinks upside down.
To do this, fill a glass with water and then put a card over the top. Put the glass face down on the table, and then very quickly pull out the card.
The water will be trapped inside the glass - and there'll be no way to pick it up without spilling it everywhere. Be aware though - only attempt this one if you don't mind mopping.
10. Cracked screen
If you have a family member or housemate working from home at the moment, you can download a picture of a cracked screen and set it as the screensaver on their laptop.
Make sure you alter the settings so the screensaver activates after a very short period of time - like 30 seconds.
When they get up to use the toilet or make a cup of tea, they'll come back to see their screen apparently shattered.
