Best computer prank for roommates

I live in a house with 4 roommates. All of us have computers. I, unfortunatly because it automatically makes me tech support, am the only one with and f***ing clue how to use one. So I end up playing alot of pranks on them. Not because they deserve it or anything its just fun to watch them try and figure it out. You see they are all physicans while I am a dentist. I get ragged on all the time for being the dumds*** of the group. So I guess they do deserve it after. Cool all guilt gone.

I'm tired of playing the same gags ie: taking a screenshot of their desk top then hide all the icons and title bar. I need fresh material. Please help!!!!
 
Simple and effective. Change the mouse to left handed. Also, run the mouse calibration and when it says to go up, go sideways. The cursor will move in a different direction than the mouse.
 
Take a picture of their toothbrush in your butt and make it their wallpaper. Hopefully they'll brush before they check email.

yeah install remote desktop privileges and demote their user account to regular User. you'll have admin from your desk, and then can toy with them forever 😀

if they run linux you could alias the commands to rm, rmdir, etc.

Generally, people without a f***ing clue (as he put it) don't run linux, although they could be i guess.

It isn't very tricky, but rotating the desktop through the video drivers will really piss people off.
 
Use nvidia's drivers to rotate their desktop.
Or if ATI or whoever else's drivers can do it too...

Edit:
Gah, just missed it =).

running over and turning off their computer while they're playing a game is a good one
