One classic that happens at Dalhousie University (in my hometown Halifax,
Nova Scotia) happens to this sculpture that is vaguely reminiscent of male
genitals. It seems that this sculpture gets VD every other year or so...
usually administered by wiseass Med students.

One prank I have always wanted to pull (or see pulled) is to fit a huge 
rubber contraceptive over the somewhat phallic dome of the Dal admin building.
Unfortunately, Dal is rather proud of its dome, and keeps it well lit at night!!

I guess everyone has seen the old Volkswagen-hanging-off-a-bridge trick
(pulled three years ago by UBC engineers), or the old car-on-(in)-a-big-building
trick... My favorite (not something I've SEEN, mind you) is the car-in-the-
dorm-room trick. Usually administered to the biggest bastard (who owns a car)
in the residence.

One has to be careful, however.. two years ago, during a scavenger hunt, one
foolish team decided that their "biggest & best" was going to be a mailbox.
The cops caught them, and four freshmen were up on charges. At least one was
convicted, and was barred from attending University ever again. The motto..
dont't use an open pickup truck to steal (:-).


Get back to work !
