A friend of mine had an answering machine with an unusual special feature: it
could be set to call a certain number, deliver a message, wait for a numeric
code. If the code was entered correctly, it would play back the messages. If
not, it would hangup and call back 10 minutes later. In retaliation for a prank
I played on him, he set my number up as the to-be-called number. So, I went to
the store, obtained a manual for his machine, and set abot cracking his 
security code (3 digits.) with my modem. I cracked the code, and then I changed
the setup a little. The new message was "Do I smell a pork product of some 
kind?" (Wayne's World), and the new number it was supposed to call was the
local police. He got in a LOT of trouble, but nothing permanent.

As the subject header says (sorry it got too long and wrapped around), but I
heard this about the Ivy marching bands before I applied to Columbia and it
was recounted by a former band manager who now works for Columbia's admissions
I think. Here it goes.

Apparently years ago (but still in 1980s I think) there was an Ivy band 
conference at Harvard and this Dartmouth representative happened to see a bunch
of HS seniors and juniors on a tour so he faked slowly spazzing out and then
broke out and running everywhere I guess screaming about how hard it was
at Harvard. Anyone care to elaborate or validate?

  The code here is 9930; a computer will pick up the line and tell you
the number you are calling from in a synthesized voice.  However, this
is a function of the phone system on campus - not the calling boxes.

A friend of mine used to do something sort of like this to fund-raisers and
home shopping clubs on television.  Dialing the same 800-number twice, he'd
connect two of their "operators are standing by" folks and then watch the TV
as they gradually realized that they were both in the same room [usually

This sort of thing is more like an outright prank than a shenanigan. It's
of the same order as ringing someone's doorbell and running away. Plus,
you're leaving a trail a mile wide: Caller-ID will display *your* number

Your addres bounced, so here you are:

My favorite dorm, non-violent prank is when you "popcorn" someone's door.
All that is required is a large piece of butcher paper and a LOT of popcorn
(like 2 of those cheap yet huge bags that are always stale!). Decorate the 
butcher paper, which should be a little wider than the door frame and a little
shorter than the door. Tape it to the frame, and then fill the gap between the 
door and the frame with the popcorn. When they open the door: AVALANCHE!! =)
Plus, they can see your sign too! (Happy Birthday is my favorite, but not quite 
applicable in your case.....)

BTW, This only works when the door opens in.....

I don't know about your particular story, but here is one that is
(undoubtedly wrongly) attributed to Kurt Vonnegut whilst he was an
undergrad.

He went to the final exam for a class that he wasn't enrolled in.
Half way thru the test, he began to scream "I can't take it
anymore!!", ript his blue-book into little pieces, and jumped out of
the (second-story) window (where some friends were waiting with a
blanket to catch him).

As your story suggests, however, tour-groups can be fun.  Whenever I
see that I will pass one while I am walking with a friend, I make sure
to have an interesting conversation going:

"...so I just got a job in the psychology lab, and I'm supposed to
hook up these electrodes to a dog's testacles and shock it whenever it
gets an erection..."

Our computer lab has glass windows, so that someone in the hall can
look into the room.  When a tour goes by and looks in as I am
computing next to a friend, I always make sure to stage something
interesting, such as standing up suddenly and yelling "How DARE you
say that about my program?", and then taking off my coat...

     While living at Boys Town, NE all six of the girls in my house decided to
play a nice little prank on our Family Teachers (similar to foster parents).
It started off innocently enough, we just put a little instant rice at the
foot of their bed.  The situation quickly escalated into easter-basket grass in
their underwear drawer and toilet paper draped across the posts of their bed
and over the curtain rods.  When all was through we thought we thought we had
quite outdone ourselves.
     However, we knew we were in for it when the next morning Mari (the female
family teacher) came out with a handful of easter basket grass in one hand and
a handful of rice in the other.  That afternoon when we got home from school we
were told to "go to our rooms."  Knowing full well that Curt and Mari would
never leave a prank unanswered we knew they had done *something* to our rooms.
There was croutons and rice krispies in our pillowcases, saran wrap on our
tolilets, uncooked macaroni in our shoes, jackets and Caboodles, the taps on
our bathroom sinks had been unscrewed so that they were just barely attached,
vaseline on the _inside_ doorknobs to our rooms and vaseline on our shower
handle.
     Needless to say, we had the best April fools day than any other house on
campus. :)

No.












Napalm was originally made from naphthalene and palm oil, hence the name.
This was told to me by my synthetic organic prof and former boss. 

My question is, why do you care? The only attraction of napalm over just
kerosene or something is that it's very difficult to get off of your skin in
a hurry. Great for killing or permanently disfiguring people, but otherwise
not any better than kerosene. What did you have in mind?
