April Fools is the one dreaded day of the year when everyone suddenly becomes prankster. Yes, the day is once again upon us this Sunday, and it's time to pull out the old gag bag. Perhaps even add a few new toys to your bag of tricks.

The folks at Firebox have the funniest gift for those you too worried about stepping on that scale every week. Instead of displaying numbers, the Celebrity Scale compares your weight to that of celebrities, historical figures, and fictional characters. It's great!

One day your weight may be compared to the likes of Yoda or Baby Jesus, but if you eat too much Easter candy you might end up weighing as much as King Kong. It would've been more relevant to our generation if the scale included current celebrities (think Nicole, Olsen Twins, Lindsay) but since it was made outside the U.S. in what appears to have be the 80s, guess you'll have to be compared with celebs like Goldie Hawn, Gary Coleman, Ron Jeremy and even Donald Trump's combover. Guess it's a good thing they didn't include too many yo-yo dieters in the mix, otherwise they'd just confuse our fragile mind.
