9/11 changed so many things for so many people - politics, travel, even entertainment. You can now add school pranks to that list as many campuses now require pranks to be pre-approved before any action is taken.
The article talks about a few past pranks that would have to be modified or eliminated to be acceptable today. One example is of how some students at MIT hacked an elevator to deliver people to random floors, which wouldn’t be allowed at all anymore due to safety concerns. Some schools are creating “no prank lists” that students can put their names on to prevent them from being pranked. Yeah, that won’t put a huge target on your butt.
File that under a world with no pranks is a sad world indeed.

Halloween is almost here! If you haven’t had a chance to pull off some pranks in your office, perhaps a simple scary prank is just what you need. All you need is a box and you can scare your coworkers all day long.
Requirements:
- Time (low) - takes next to no time at all to hide in a box.
- Cost (low) - if you have a big enough box already it’ll cost you nothing, but even if you find yourself boxless, you can find them cheap at all sorts of stores.
- Risk (low) - as long as you don’t give any coworkers heart attacks you should be fine.
Steps:
- Get a box that’s big enough for you to fit in.
- Put the box in a strategic location for scaring your victim. Some key places include near the elevator, near a coworker’s cubicle, or in the break room.
- Get in the box and wait for your victim to come.
- Jump out and scare your victim using whatever means necessary (screams, arm movements, etc.)
Result:
You should be able to give a good scare even with some people being prepared for such pranks near Halloween. You can probably pull off the prank multiple times on different coworkers as long as word of your pranking doesn’t spread. You can target specific coworkers by putting the box near their work stations and putting a letter on the top saying the box is a delivery (though it could be a little obvious) or you can position the box in a highly trafficked area and just scare as many people as you can as often as you can. You can choose to decorate yourself and add to the contents of the box for added effect - such as wearing a scary costume and/or mask and holding props such as rubber snakes.
Below is a video demonstrating the prank being pulled off in an office environment.

Three rednecks, Bubba, Earl and Jeb, were stumbling home late one night and found themselves on the road that led past the old graveyard.
“Come have a look over here”, says Bubba, “It’s Zeb Jones’ grave, God bless his soul, he lived to the ripe old age of 87.”
“That’s nothing”, says Earl, “here’s one named Butch Smith. It says here that he was 95 when he died.”
Just then, Jeb yells out, “But here’s a fella that died when he was 145 years old!”
“What was his name?” asks Bubba.
Jeb lights a match to see what else is written on the stone marker, and exclaims, “Miles, from Georgia.”

Filed under the cry me a river folder, apparently about one-third of lottery winners end up having serious financial troubles within five years of winning the lottery.
I’m assuming the study is only taking into account winners of fairly substantial amounts of money, because you’d technically be a lottery winner if you won five bucks for a few number matches right? I can see how a person who’s not used to having so much money could waste it all when they don’t develop the financial responsibility that usually comes after actually earning riches. Though I definitely don’t pity them for blowing such an opportunity.
File that under being a millionaire is tough.

A father asked his 10 year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees.
“I don’t want to know!” the child said, bursting into tears.
“Promise me you won’t tell me.”
Confused, the father asked what was wrong.
“Oh dad,” the boy sobbed, “when I was 6 I got the there’s no Santa speech”. At 7, I got the there’s no Easter Bunny speech. When I was 8, you hit me with the there’s no Tooth Fairy speech.
If you tell me that grown-ups don’t really screw, I’ll have nothing left to live for.”

A young man hired by a supermarket reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, “Your first job will be to sweep out the store.”
“But I’m a college graduate!!” the young man replied indignantly.
“Oh, I’m sorry about the misunderstanding,” said the manager. “Here, give me the broom - I’ll show you how.”

In school one day the teacher decided in science class she would teach about materials. So she stood in the front of the class and said, “Children, if you could have one raw material in the world what would it be?”
Little Richie raised his hand and said “I would want gold, because gold is worth a lot of money and I could buy a Porsche.”
The teacher nodded and called on little Susie Marie.
Little Susie said “I would want platinum because platinum is worth more than gold and I could buy a Corvette.”
The teacher smiled and then called on Little Johnny. Little Johnny stood up and said, “I would want silicone.”
The teacher said, “Why Johnny?”
He responded by saying, “Because my mom has two bags of it and you should see all the sports cars outside our house!!”

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
“Whales can’t swallow people,” the teacher said. “Even though they are large mammals, their throats are very small.”
“But Jonah was swallowed by a whale,” the little girl replied.
“That just can’t be,” the teacher said. “It’s physically impossible.”
“When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah,” said the little girl.
The teacher looked down at her, smiled and asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?”
The little girl replied, “Then you ask him.”
