I figure with the technical skills of some of the people on here, there have to be some good ones.

Nerd hacks and pranks rule and have a long and rich tradition.
I have a MIT bias.

My father would tell stories about painting argyle socks on the statue of John Harvard and chemically welding a Harvard trolley car to its tracks.

I freakin love that it's a tradition that continues.
(Cal Tech and Stanford also goof around a fair bit)

One prank my boyfriend liked to use against me (prior to us dating... he knows not to do it now lol) was making a file that was programmed to shut my computer down. At first it was just a batch file that was labeled something like Latin Translations or something like that, and being confused as to what it was and not knowing what a batch file was, I clicked it. He set it up so it gave me a 2 minute warning and then he pretty much made fun of me for falling for it. Eventually I learned, but then he got sneakier by hiding the fact that it was a batch file somehow... I don't really remember, and I think he labeled it with some of my current file names so I wouldn't tell the difference. In any case, it pissed me off a lot and I wanted to punch him in the face haha.
