See how The Man always has to come down on true genius?  It's no wonder no one aspires to anything anymore.   :banghead:

That was definitely ingenious, way better than putting a car on the roof or stealing a statue that they just replaced from the last one being stolen 20 some years ago :~

It was totally worth it. ;D

At our high school, they banned inter-grade insulting. You know, like when the seniors chanted "Freshman suck" or the classic turn their backs and read a newspaper when the freshmen are introduced at a pep rally. Pep rallys were never the same...

At our school they banned the pep rally.

We were able to obey the rules enough to keep ours. They bribed us with an hour lunch if we behaved.

Erm, yes they did.  It was our school system that was in the news for that in the spring.

It was ingenious when Yale came up with the prank first. This kid just copied it. He's an ambitious kid, for sure; but he's no genius.

On no, I just Chaded in a Chad thread.   :badmood:

No, it was ingenious when Caltech (http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=132) came up with it first.

Yale's video was pretty funny, though.

Doesn't matter who came up with it.  Anyone who can trick 800 people at once into slamming themselves in public simultaneously is a genius.  Even if it's a known method.

That's a pretty low bar you've set for "genius". This puts most of your posts in a whole new light.   8)

The kid put 20 hours into a thirty second prank.

Like these? http://hacks.mit.edu/

Go back a few years for the more interesting ones. My favorite is probably this one (http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/by_year/1990/vest_bboard/).

The first time I read that, I thought you said Keltech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lcRkaXOla4). I was about to start clapping.  :applaud: The link is unrelated - but it's one of the coolest scratch DJ routines I've ever seen. All Star Wars fans, click the link.

At first...I was like this kinda sucks...then I was like that was pretty cool.
