Excellent. Also, I think would have liked it about 1000 times more without the production music.

I like the one about the HS seniors who let loose three goats in their school. The goats were numbered 1,2 and 4. School officials spent the rest of the day looking for number 3.

That's freakin cool

AWESOME

I like the one where a couple of hundred people descended on the Best Buy in Manhattan, all wearing khaki chinos and blue golf shirts, just like the staff. When you see it, it looks like there's 250 staffers there and only a couple of dozen customers - really hilarious!

That was way cool. Got me smiling here. Love it!!

I love that - saw it a few weeks ago. It's what I really miss about NYC. The commuters walked around them, were curious why they were just standing there, the driver was trying to figure out how to do his job. No one was angry or pushing or all those things we NY'rs wrongly get accused of!

Lisa, you'll understand this - can you imagine trying something like this in LA? :eek:

This one would be a good one (if it's true, hard to tell):

The cleverness of many MIT hacks has even resulted in urban legends about supposed hacks. One rumored hack involved a certain student's adherence to operant conditioning behavior response. Throughout the off-season this supposed student visited the Harvard football stadium during his lunch break. He dressed in a black and white striped shirt and trousers, filled his pockets with bird-seed, then went on the field, blew a whistle, and spread his birdseed on the field. The result of all of this effort, the story goes, is that on opening day as the Harvard football team took the field to face their opponent, the referee blew his whistle to signal the start of the game, and the field was suddenly inundated by a flock of birds looking for their lunch. Despite sounding like a classic MIT hack, this particular prank has never been verified. The author of a 1990 book about pranks pulled by MIT students stated that he had not come across this tale during his years of research.

THAT's funny!

HA!!! Hell to the NO! Angelinos just wouldn't (couldn't?) get it and/or appreciate it. First of all, you wouldn't be able to get many of them out of their cars to see such a happening . . . :rolleyes:

To me the best part of this prank is its utter simplicity (or is that udder simplicity?).

That is so true...nice to have a laugh on that one. Taking my daughter to LA in 10 days or so for a week. She will never forget what she is about to witness.. Now New York City is her cup of tea. She thinks it may be the same. ;)
