OMG, the best college prank was just pulled

I put a college student in the hospital with a concussion and 16 broken bones because he though it was funny to set all the PSU's to 240v. I would have done the same to you for that. What in an extension cord had been on the ground? That would have killed someone.

You commited a crime (Vandalism), admitted to it openly on a public forum, took pictures (more evidence) and brag about your prank that caused property damage? Nice. Sounds like someone I'd put on a DNTL too.

I was just going to say that it sounds more like vandalism than a prank.

Jesus, re-read the original post (which is unedited) or thread. I never said that I did this, I only saw what happened after I heard the noise, and my roommate took the pictures.
 
Fill a bag up with shaving cream, stick the open edge under the door, place a food tray on the bag and jump on it. It blows the shaving cream in the room. The water thing is old. The penny thing would get you kicked out of residence when I was at school.
 
that joke is not even that funny plus it might mess up other people next room or the floor under. a lot of water and TP is already wasted. people should just go study if they have too much time.

The best two pranks I've seen are:

1) When some guys covered another guys room entirely in aluminum foil. and I mean entirely. http://www.samholton.com/pics/categories.php?cat_id=24

2) When some guys molded a new wall in front of the door to a guys room.

Those are actually funny, and doesnt need to hurt anyone or damage anything. Yours, is just plain retarded.


I wish they'd posted some pics on how it all turned out when he came home.
 
If there were no police/firemen/EMS involved by the end of the prank, it is automatically disqualified from even being considered great
So what you are saying is if no taxpayer's money was wasted it wasn't worth it?
 
Strange how this thread got dredged up from the depths, but I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for the mediocrity.

I'm going to guess the students involved are studying to become rocket scientists.
 
Well, that so-called "Best prank ever" is the dumbest thing I have ever read about. Jesus, Saran Wrap on a toilet is better than that. That just plain sucked ass. And posting about it sucked even more ass, regardless of if you were a part of it or not.

Also, judging by the posts here, most of you are college (Or "not so far removed from") students. I have to say...What the hell is wrong with your grammer? I hope your parents didn't pay (much) for this blatent misuse of the english language. I'm not referring to all of you, but some of you should seriously take note of the line below this one.

Think before you speak. It's a simple concept.
 
Some Bruins tried to pour soap into our fountain one year (luckily they were caught). 😀

But the best one I've ever heard of was attempt to drop a bag of manure onto Tommy Trojan from a helicopter.
 
meh the crappest one i heard about, was aload of guys pissed on the wardens car.......man that thing stunk

oh n we bought my friend with is ebay account, but payed for by someone else, a gold thong and a book on how to be a real man by julian clarey
 
I would kick anyone in the general vicinitys ass for that. He has two guitars and I'm sure other things of value. If it had been me you can bet you wouldn't have found it so funny.
 
I noticed some visits to my Foil photo gallery coming from this page. The link that was posted was only to the photo gallery. So concerning episodic post, we do have video of their arrival. The actual page is http://foil.samholton.com

The arrival was actually a funny story. Mike (one of the roommates) got a speeding ticket on the way home and had homework to do. Made it that much better for us.
