Evil PranksAs a student Joel Veitch attached a hose from the sink into my bed. I slowly woke thinking I'd pissed myself. I had the last laugh though. He had to pay for my ruined mattress.
What's the most evil prank you've ever played on someone?

Sluggish but 'smart' old computersDuring a class break, a mate and I copied diskettes and swapped keyboards with a girl in the computer lab who used to sit across from us. (this was back in the 8086 processor/dual floppy days)
I don't mean we traded keyboards. We just swapped the plugs and rebooted so she was typing on our screen and we echoed her commands to her screen using our keyboard. Since we had a copy of her disks, we had all of her documents so we could 'load' them for her, etc.
Ever seen an XT with 'sluggish' response that makes typos and corrects them and does random stuff for you, etc? She was well puzzled, as was the instructor, until we got to laughing too hard they realized something was up.
