Although the Wright Brothers replica was tastefully done, I will point out that pranking another school is slightly more difficult than doing a prank at your own - particularly if you're pranking another school that's on the other side of the country. And the fact that we pranked MIT's CPW event does add a certain special element to it:-).
I apologize for the belligerent tone; these pranks were, in fact, meant to be in the spirit of friendly competition. If they've actually gotten MIT people and 'Techers pissed off at each other, I apologize on behalf of the Caltech pranksters.
As one of the Caltech students who was at MIT this weekend, I'd just like to point out that regardless of how lame the MIT hackers may think our pranks were - and I know from talking to many of them personally that a large faction of them were actually quite impressed - I haven't seen MIT doing anything better in the past 10 years.
