  1. Re:Bah! by Admiral+Llama · · Score: 1 · on Superball!

    Drop Squad is cooler. 4000+ balls is a pretty good start though.

  2. One solution? Maybe? by KC7GR · · Score: 1 · on IBM 600 Series Laptops and Flaky Batteries?

    Give all the flaky batteries to whatever group makes up the (in)famous RPI Drop Squad. They could station some of the IBM execs at the bottom of their favorite stairwell, and... well, read the web site. You'll get the idea. ;-)

    Yep, my alma mater had their share of pranksters too...

    "They dropped pumpkins, typewriters and bags of McDonald's hamburgers down a
    nine-story stairwell of the Center for Industrial Innovation. Then the Drop
    Squad made a mistake. They sent police a videotape of themselves and were
    finally caught and punished.    "

    Doh! Hate when that happens!

    Also maybe we can get The Drop Squad guys to do some additional testing. :-)

  5. Any other college pranks out there? by cecil36 · · Score: 1 · on Canadians Hang Bug Off Golden Gate

    I think somebody (perhaps me) needs to start a college prank website, and have either stories or links (such as one to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Drop Squad). This kind of stuff needs to live on forever in cyberspace.

  6. Pranks vs. vandalism by Skwirl · · Score: 1 · on College Pranks Go Commercial
    I'm sorry, but from what I've read about pranking ethics these guys aren't hacks in the MIT sense, but rather unoriginal vandals.
    "According to the "hacker ethic," a hack must: be safe / not damage anything/ not damage anyone, either physically, mentally or emotionally / be funny, at least to most of the people who experience it "
    Throwing University owned telephones down stairwells... without care about what lands on who... doesn't seem very funny or safe to me.
