>50 ways to fuck with people in a pc lab
>
>1. Log on, wait a sec, then get a frightened look on your face and
>scream "Oh my God! They've found me!" and bolt.
>2.  Laugh uncontrollably for about 3 minutes & then suddenly stop and
>look suspiciously at everyone who looks at you.
>3.  When your computer is turned off, complain to the monitor on duty
>that you can't get the damn thing to work. After he/she's turned it on,
>wait 5 minutes,turn it off again, & repeat the process for a good half
>hour.
>4.Type frantically, often stopping to look at the person next to you
>evilly.
>5.  Before anyone else is in the lab, connect each computer to different
>screen than the one it's set up with.
>6.  Write a program that plays the "Smurfs" theme song and play it at
>the highest volume possible over & over again.
>7.  Work normally for a while. Suddenly look amazingly startled by
>something on the screen and crawl underneath the desk.
>8.  Ask the person next to you if they know how to tap into top-secret
>Pentagon files.
>9.  Use Interactive Send to make passes at people you don't know.
>10. Make a small ritual sacrifice to the computer before you turn it on.
>11.Bring a chainsaw, but don't use it. If anyone asks why you have it,
>say "Just in case..." mysteriously.
>12.  Type on VAX for a while. Suddenly start cursing for 3 minutes at
>everything bad about your life. Then stop and continue typing.
>13.  Enter the lab, undress, and start staring at other people as if
>they're crazy while typing.
>14.  Light candles in a pentagram around your terminal before starting.
>15.Ask around for a spare disk. Offer $2. Keep asking until someone
>agrees. Then, pull a disk out of your fly and say, "Oops, I forgot."
>16.  Every time you press Return and there is processing time required,
>pray "Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease," and scream "YES!" when it
>finishes.
>17.  "DISK FIGHT!!!"
>18.  Start making out with the person at the terminal next to you (It
>helps if you know them, but this is also a great way to make new
>friends).
>19.  Put a straw in your mouth and put your hands in your pockets. Type
>by hitting the keys with the straw.
>20.  If you're sitting in a swivel chair, spin around singing "The Lion
>Sleeps Tonight" whenever there is processing time required.
>21.  Draw a pictue of a woman (or man) on a piece of paper, tape it to
>your monitor. Try to seduce it. Act like it hates you and then complain
>loudly that women (men) are worthless.
>22.  Try to stick a Ninetendo cartridge into the 3 1/2 disc drive, when
>it doesn't work, get the supervisor.
>23.  When you are on an IBM, and when you turn it on, ask loudly where
>the smiling Apple face is when you turn on one of those.
>24.  Print out the complete works of Shakespeare, then when its all done
>(two days later) say that all you wanted was one line.
>25.  Sit and stare at the screen, biting your nails noisely. After doing
>this for a while, spit them out at the feet of the person next to you.
>26.  Stare at the screen, grind your teeth, stop, look at the person
>next to you. Grinds some more. Repeat procedure, making sure you never
>provoke the person enough to let them blow up, as this releases tension,
>and it is far more effective to let them linger.
>27.  If you have long hair, take a typing break, look for split ends,
>cut them and deposit them on your neighbor's keyboard as you leave.
>28.  Put a large, gold-framed portrait of the British Royal Family on
>your desk and loudly proclaim that it inspires you.
>29.  Come to the lab wearing several layers of socks. Remove shoes and

>the old ways are best.
>38.  Play Pong for hours on the most powerful computer in the lab.
>39.  Make a loud noise of hitting the same key over and over again until
>you see that your neighbor is noticing (You can hit the space bar so
>your fill isn't affected). Then look at your neighbor's keyboard. Hit
>his/her delete key severaltimes, erasing an entire word. While you do
>this, ask: "Does *your* delete key work?" Shake your head, and resume
>hitting the space bar on your keyboard. Keep doing this until you've
>deleted about a page of your neighbor's document. Then, suddenly
>exclaim: "Well, whaddya know? I've been hitting the space bar this whole
>time. No wonder it wasn't deleting! Ha!" Print out your document and
>leave.
>40.  Remove your disk from the drive and hide it. Go to the lab monitor
