:) This is a sad sad joke but my friend got me good last year. I want to get him good. Here is my plans. I have many many computer powercords lying around. I want to rig on up to blow his arcade machine power supply fuse. I dont even care if it blows his power supply. I just dont want it to flip off the house breaker if that can be avoided since that would give it away. I have plenty of fuses and even a powersupply to replace the blown one. I just want to go down to his arcade room and at midnight replace his power supply cord with my modified one. The next day I'll suggest we play a game. He turns it on and nothing happens (ora sizzle or boom or whatever happens when the supply fuse gets blown). He the will try another cord and nothing will work. I'll let him stress and tell him I think the monitor is blown and then tell him april fools and fix it for him. <rubbing hands together> this is going to be evil! :) thanks in advance for your help. |

it seems like he got you bad last time.... would you mind telling us what he did last time ??... (hee hee.... sorry... I'm a nosy guy....) ;) instead of rigging a powercord to blow a fuse.... how about replacing the good fuse with a bad one ??... would that have a similar effect ??... (or replacing the fuse with a very little amp one that wouldn't hold normally ?? so the fuse will blow when he turns it on ??....) if you rig a power supply to give like 240 instead of 120... it would blow the fuse... but I donno if it would actually cause any damage (electric shock to human turning the switch and/or to the equipments.......) well.... I'm no electrician... so, I maybe saying things that don't make much sense...... but I think april fool joke is cool as long as you're sure there's no damage done..... good luck to you ... and good luck to your friend... haaa haa... ;D ;D |

Why not rig the powercord so there is no contact on one of the wires (permanent open circuit). That way everything looks normal including the fuses and breakers but it won't powerup at all. No chance to fry anything either. Get a cord that looks EXACTLY like the existing one and he won't suspect a thing! |

Does his cab run all the time or does he boot it up? If he boots it up every time, you might want to look around the internet for "prank" programs. Something you can drop on his machine to simulate a catastrophic failure. Oh, and don't forget to wire a smoke bomb to his power supply, that would be a good one... |

ZAAP!) |
