I guess I had better field this one.  I have done extinsive research on
the student pranks and MIT (called _hacks_ at MIT).

The Phone Booth story is true.  The VW bug is probably apocryphal (no reliable
stories or evidence has been found.)
Other items on the domes include:

On the Large Dome (150 feet up and 108 feet across):

A life size plastic cow borrowed from the Hilltop Steakhouse.  A note
attached to the cow indicated where to return her. 

A giant wood screw installed to appear to be screwed into the dome. It
was about 25 feet tall. (made of cloth and an internal frame)

A 16 foot square house 12 feet tall. 

A giant candle to commemorate the centenial. 

A nipple to make the dome appear like a giant breast (with a banner
saying "MAMA MAXIMA SCIENTAE")

Decorating it to look like the Great Pumpkin (color was changed by putting
colored plastic over the lights on the roof.



On the smaller dome (100 feet up and 72 feet across):

A giant screw (as described above) (this was done 8 years prior to the large
dome version)

A papier mache' snowperson during a heat wave in August.

Christmas lights spelling out MIT.

Completely covering it in black plastic with eyes painted on.

assorted objects including a couch and a toilet.




Pranks at MIT have a long history and have evolved a set of ethics -
No damage should occur, it must be done safely and it must be good natured.  




If anyone has questions about the pranks at MIT, I'll answer them.
Also, if anyone has any information about pranks at MIT, I'd like to hear
from you.



SHAMELESS PLUG!!!!!!!!!!
My research on pranks at MIT has been published in a book.
In it are many of the pranks that have been documented with photos
and  other documentation.  Photos go back to the 20s and the pranks
go back to the late 1800s.  Other pranks included are:
The balloon at the Harvard/Yale football game in 1982.
Numerouse cars in unusual places (not on the dome, however).
Creative unauthorized redecorating.
Uncommon artwork.
Hoaxes
and the Cow on the roof.

The book is called _The Journal of the Institute for Hacks TomFoolery & Pranks
at MIT_   158 pages - about 200 photos  9.5"X11" softcover
Published by the MIT Museum.  Available from them for $19.95 plus S&H.

I believe this is wrong. If you name the notes in the triad for C sharp
you will say C sharp, E sharp and G sharp. There is no F in the key of
C sharp. The keys on a piano are immaterial, as you know, there is no
E sharp key on a trombone either.

Since the dissolution of the Eastern block sporting empires, tales
have been doing the rounds about how hard they used to train. In
similar vain to the above, it is reputed that East German rowers, when
they were no longer physically capable of pushing weights in a weights
session were led up a ramp to the top of a six foot drop. They
jumped/were pushed and the reflex action on landing forced their
muscles to do yet more work. The coach who ran this set up is reputed
to have explained, upon being asked by a new squad member about the
amount of exercise he had to do, "The weights are too heavy? Perhaps
you are not good enough."

Then how come all the hemophiliacs getting cryoprecipitates prior to

that we do test, they aren't getting it anymore.  And before the

During WWII, the OSI (the CIA's daddy) studied:
	1. The use of bats to burn Japanese cities. The
	  theory was that bats would naturally roost in the
	  eaves of the (predominantly wooded) homes. 
	  Bats could be fitted with explosives and released
	  at dawn, finding their way to the closest roost.

	2. The use of cats to guide bombs. The theory was
	  cats, as everyone knows, always attempt to land on
	  their feet. A harness was devised that slung a cat
	  beneath a a winged bomb, with the cat
	  "controlling" the control surfaces on the wings,
	  much as a para-glider controls their chute.

Oh what find Wild Bill Donovan had!

"Eso si que es" DOES mean "That's what it is", roughly....and under certain
circumstances it could be construed as "That's what I want."  The standard
bilingual joke is about a man who speaks only English who goes into a Spanish
store to buy socks.  Because he doesn't speak Spanish, the clerk points to
first one item, then another.  When she points to 'los calcetines' (socks),
the man comes out with the one phrase he knows: Eso si que es!  He means that
what she's pointing to IS what he's asking about and wants to buy.
 
Mind you, I've taken all the humor out of this in order to explain it as
clearly as I could.  
 
Ask me sometime about another Kennedy faux pas, when he told the Colombian
people that, in the spirit of of unity between our two countries, that our
two flags should 'huevon, huevon'.....

Since smileys are banned in this newsgroup, i can't tell if Ted is
joking or if he is simply not conversant in music.  If it's the first,
consider this a tip-off for the naive; if it's the second, a friendly
correction.

There is no such note as E-sharp.  One half-step above E is F.
Sometimes you will see an E-sharp written on a piece of music, but
it's to be played as an F.  There is no key called E-sharp on a piano.

Thank you.

(You can play a quarter-step above E on a trombone and call it an
E-sharp.... It's actually a very interesting sound, particularly
combined with your run-of-the-mill F, but it tends to attract negative
attention from the conductor.  Trust me.)

Well, wrong, as other have said.

Maybe they should rename "Baby Ruth" as "Tricky Dick" and put a picture
