Caltech Pranks MIT's Prefrosh Weekend

doughnuthole writes "Caltech students ventured to Massachusetts this past Wednesday to unleash a series of pranks at MIT's prefrosh weekend. They distributed shirts with MIT on the front and '...because not everyone can go to Caltech' on the back. They placed inflatable palm trees in the infamous Tomb of the Unknown Tool and around the great dome and floated Caltech balloons in building seven. A banner transformed Massachusetts Institute of Technology into That Other Institute of Technology. Saturday night a LASER spelling the letters C-A-L-T-E-C-H was directed at the top of the Green building. A full account of the pranks is located at www.caltechvsmit.com."

    Best theoretical college in physics and engineering. Best. In the world. Period.

    OK, so does it have a big sticker on the front doors? Really, have we learned nothing lately?

  4. DO NOT MOD PARENT OR GRANDPARENT by ari_j · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Don't mod either of Joe's comments up or down - he corrected his own mistake. We've all done this a bajillion times, especially in the wee hours of the morning, so let's not take it out on Joe just because we've lost karma over it in the past.

    Mods: If you have to take out your anger on a comment, mod this one down instead.

    Joe: You owe me one, bud. ;-D
