¿Question #741?
EndersGame: What is the best practical joke you have experienced or heard about?

DHEK: The one they made into a reality TV show in UK, where they recruited unsuspecting people to go for training as an astronaut in a Russian military base. It's a reality TV show and practical joke because they don't actually go anywhere. They are in UK all along at an abandoned base converted into something that looks like a Russian base. The whole idea is so wacky and amusing - you should see the lengths the makers of the show go to to ensure success.
haraggan: This is a long one. You know how everybody believes - whether it's true or not - that if your college roommate dies, you get an automatic 4.0 for the semester (presumably because you're supposed to be too traumatized to work)? OK, my college friend Phil really disliked his roomie (Dennis), and his father is a doctor. He gets an official death certificate from his dad, and fills it out with his own information. Then he steals some letterhead from the dean's office and writes a letter to Dennis saying essentially "we regret to inform you that your roommate was killed in a traffic accident. Since you are no doubt too traumatized to function, you may return home for the remainder of the semester." Then Phil moves in with his girlfriend for the weekend.
EndersGame: It's hard to beat the one where some engineering students surprised someone by re-assembling an entire VW Beetle inside a tiny office.
Blackwind: Well it involves a rope, shaving cream, summer camp and well...theres not enough room here.
CortexBomb: Well, it involved a moose, some pasties, and some shaving cream, but I won't elaborate further
CDRodeffer: Knox gelatin in the toilet.
chaddyboy_2000: Scott's is pretty funny!
ValJor: I don't like practical jokes. I don't think they are humorous at all. Call me Scrooge if you must
ynnen: A big jock lost his socks at a study I was participating in, so the next session I had bought him some bright pink Care Bear socks with little pom poms on them and a "Sorry for your loss" sympathy card the entire staff signed ahead of time. They were waiting on his chair when he signed in for the session, and we all got a big laugh out of it.
snoozefest: nasty things
jttm: Taping a 9v battery to a metal urinal. Piss on, current travels upstream and onto the weiner :P
tragicpoet: I filled a co-worker's cubicle to the brim with styrofoam peanuts, cost $200 but I used the peanuts later anyways so it was worth it to me.
queequeg: room turned upside down
skelebone: Chatting up a guy over IM, setting him up on a local date, watching him get tarted up, and then watching his frustration at the no-show.
