70-Year-Old Prank Revealed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the inspiring-a-new-generation-of-pranking dept.

Saturday in the San Francisco Chronicle a story about a prank that the Clampers (E Clampus Vitus, man!) pulled on UC Berkeley was featured. In short the Clampers faked a brass plaque that intimated that Sir Francis Drake landed in Marin 462 years ago. The Clampers are an organization known for, well, drinking and horsing around, but this kind of prank, one that spans 70 years (or more than 400, depending on your point of view) is epic and inspiring.

    look how many years have gone by and Jesus Christ is still being talked about.. even by those who don't believe in Him but dare to curse his name in every day speech.

    Jesus is still here, alive, and coming again. There's no forgetting Him. He loves you.

    Brilliant post. Too bad you don't have the +1 Karma bonus so more people might read it.

    Maybe you should consider this "premier" slashdot account on eBay.
