Infected the teacher's computer with a virus...

I'm going to make the CD drive pop out and in, out and in, then make the start menu disappear, then melt the virus remotely so no trace of it is left to be discovered...

Also discovered some people sharing illegal music, so I'm considering 'hacking' into that computer (they have Windows filesharing on, just a password on the C drive, a simple program can hack that, since I'm on the same network) and deleting all the illegal music

Unfortunately it's on aThursday. I work part time for the campus parking enforcement group, and can get my hands on all kinds of stuff to cause chaos with. Although, Thursday is also Electronics Lab day....

Well -someone- pulled a prank on one of the Dos systems for the Operating Systems part of my IT course; essentially, they edited the autoexec.bat so all it said was autoexec.bat on one line.

This then caused it to print "autoexec.bat" on the screen really quickly in an endless loop.

When I was in university, myself and my floormates undertook a raid on our sister house. We did many things that night...

1. Filled up lounge fridge with popcorn.
2. Put black ink on phone handset.
3. Mixed up Jello in toliet bowls.
4. Booby trapped showerheads with left-over paintballs
5. (as we sorta had a loose beach theme) Dumped two garbage cans worth of sand on bathroom floor to create a beach.
6. Filled bathtub with mix of sand and sealife (now dead and decaying).

My own little specialty was sink sabotage. I turned off the water using the cutoff valves and then removed and hid the handles. Most sinks I turned off both, on some just cold was turned off and others just the hot.

On one special sink, I left the water on, but removed the u-drainpipe. The next morning, one girl found this one "working" sink and it was used for quite a while till the little drain problem was discovered. Along with the sand on the floor, it made for a horrendous mess.

After a long day of cleaning the bathroom, the girls retired to the lounge to rest. They then opened the fridge... (see #1 above)

Krazy glue has always been a favourite of mine, it's got a million & one uses, it's like the duct tape of pranks. I glued my roomate's comb & hairgel to his dresser, he was not as amused as I was. I also glued his mouse to his desk so he had a real fun time trying to use the computer. Or if you're really evil you can glue your roomate to himself when he's sleeping.

Happens every year..........

And all because way back when the Calendar used to start on April 1, until someone changed it to January, and those still celebrating the New Year in April were labelled Fools.

I manipulated the Polish Stock Market using a prank newspaper info about the Finance Minister resignation. Then made 60 million dollars and ran away to Caiman Islands.

Actually that's not true, but I'd love to make such a thing

Especially the 60 million dollar part.

And after 2 hours of compressing my new avatar without losing most of the quality I finally did it. All hail Togusa!

Cross the border into Mexico, hook up with some prostitute, pay her after the act with monopoly money, and see if I can make it back to the states in one peice.

I don't care enough to prank people, but knowing my friends, I'm going to be the jumpiest man alive come Thursday...
