>>From Usenet .. alt.shenanigans... some classic college pranks:


Another, more short-lived ploy was to suspend a wooden horseshoe by a string
from the ceiling in the corridor, such that the horseshow dangles a couple
of inches above the top of an upright broom. Most conventional brooms will
stand on their straws with a little coaxing. We attached a sign labeling the
horseshow "wood magnet." Quite a few people took it at face value.


Seven friends once pulled this at my college cafeteria. One put a hot water
bottle filled with pea soup down his chest; he sat at the head of a table,
with the other six friends sitting along the sides. When the cafeteria was
pretty full of people, he made a loud noise (to attract attention), stood
up, bent over and squeezed his chest. This caused a huge gush of green
liquid to spew all over the table; the other six immediately began to eat
this green liquid. I think a lot of food went uneaten that night.


Here's one that my roommate and myself did to a residence buddy. One morning
(early) we taped together a bunch of sheets of newspaper to cover the
victims doorframe. Then taped this big sheet over the doorframe which left a
gap of about two or three inches between the sheet and the door. Then we
filled the gap with paper balls right to the top of the doorway. When he
opened the door he was showered with a barrage of paper balls (makes a nice
mess too!) Of course, the door has to swing in for this to work!


Get a pair of old boots, put them on the floor in the toilet to make it
look like someone is sitting on the toilet.  Then lock the toilet door.
Works best if there is only one toilet. Watch people repeatedly walk in and
them come straight out again. Particularly works well after lunch or 
morning tea.

        On Top Of Spaghetti
        All covered with cheese
        I lost my poor meatball
        When somebody sneezed

        It rolled off the table
        And on to the floor
        And then my poor meatball
        Rolled out of the door

        It rolled in the garden
        And under a bush
        And then my poor meatball
        Was nothing but mush

        The mush was as tasty
        As tasty could be
        And early next summer
        It grew into a tree

        The tree was all covered
        With beautiful moss
        It grew lovely meatballs
        And tomato sauce

        So if you eat spaghetti
        All covered with cheese
        Hold on to your meatball
        And don't ever sneeze


Happy April Fool's Day.. I'll be listening for your humming
around the office water cooler... speaking of offices, here's a
couple of pranks from Dilbert Newsletter 12 by Scott Adams


  Prank #1:

  Using the conferencing feature of your office phone, dial one
  Individual, then while it's ringing dial another and conference
  them together. Put your own phone on mute and listen to see how
  long they'll make small talk before figuring out that neither
  one placed the call.

  Prank #2:

  Get a greeting card that plays an insidious tune. Wrap the musical
  chip in cotton and tape it in on top of a ceiling tile in the
  victim's office. Make it quiet enough that the victim only hears
  it when it's especially silent. Act like he's crazy when he asks
  you if you hear music.

  Prank #3:

  Put an official-looking sign over the control pad of your office
  fax or copy machine that says it is now voice activated. The sign
  should direct the users to say their full name in a loud, crisp
  voice (for tracking purposes of course) followed by the desired
  commands, e.g., "This is Bruce Individual, give me ten copies,
  no staple."
