The Dean of the school heard the pig fall over because of the malt liquor, and the jig was up.

The pig was airlifted out to a local animal hospital.

Greatest prank ever.”[/quote]

Watched the Simpsons to many times? :)

You could try reading the article, blueracoon, instead of just looking at the picture.

sligocki said: "It would appear that rather than having 14 flash cards per fan (and thus simple instructions), the Huskeys had the same set of colored cards at each seat with instructions on which color to show at each of the 15 frames. Thus the instructions for each seat would be different."

If every instruction sheet had to be different, how did they pull it off by stealing only the one sheet? It still stands to reason that they could have made the changes and then copied the instructions. Nevertheless, an excellent execution of a good scheme.

There's a story about an MIT student who spent an entire summer going to the Harvard football field every day wearing a black and white striped shirt, walking up and down the field for ten or fifteen minutes throwing birdseed all over the field, blowing a whistle and then walking off the field.

At the end of the summer, it came time for the first Harvard home football team, the referee walked onto the field and blew the whistle, and the game had to be delayed for a half hour to wait for the birds to get off of the field.

My boss having served in the army and spent some time in Viet Nam, came to describe many an incident. Naturally, in any branch of the military, you don’t get things done by going through normal channels or following prescribed instructions. Where there’s a will, there is a way. When the going gets tough…the tough get going. And all that kind of jazz. In the end, I coined for him the phrase …S.C.S…sneaky, cunning and sly. Fits the Caltech prank to a T! (also works in Corporate America too).

No apologies necessary for reruning an old article. Thanks DI and keep up the great work!
