This year's prank was relatively tame. The MIT students managed to re-
program all of the variable message signs on detours to point directly
to MIT. A hamless stunt, and the MA department of transportion was
not happy, but the end result was that hundreds of cars and 16-weelers
ended up at the MIT campus. I'd scale this prank as a 5.5. The state
police knew very well as to what group was responsible for
reprogramming the signs, but never pursued the issue.

Reminds me of a Birmingham (UK) student day prank which involved a car with a >
TAXI style sign saying Robbers pursed by another car coloured in POLICE livery.


Graham, your post calls to mind that old chestnut that the UK and
America are separated by their use of a common language, or something
to that effect. :-)

That's the one ?

Ever read Bill Bryson's book 'Mother Tongue' ? It's fascinating.
