Or heard of? My faviorte is one that a local radio station put on back in the 90's on april fool's day, convincing a good number of people that the discovery shuttle was coming down at our air port. Even made #30 on the Muesem of hoaxes 100 best april fools day. More then a 1,000 people showed up for it.
A particularly crafty sea lion is befuddling the Army Corps of Engineers, who have come to believe the 1,000-pound mammal is either from hell -- or from Harvard.

My local rasio station called the governor's wife and told her that her husband had been killed and instead of calling the police, or her husbands office, she called the local news station and reported it... it was on the news for about 2 hours before the governor knew about it.

When Britney Spears was killed in a car accident.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

No, I opted for plan B. I crept to the door, peeked out, did a cartwheel across the hallway, then climbed up a filing cabinet in the reference library so that I could slip unseen into the ceiling crawlspace above.

I have a hard time imagining Solid Snake doing a cartwheel. Especially if he follows it up with a "ta da!"

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

True, but that wasn't intentional, and one could argue that it was the listener's fault for not tuning in early enough.

Still, if it was meant to be a joke, it'd be one of the best.

Konami actually making a Fourth without Kojima doing any hands-on work with the series anymore is a good Practical Joke
