...which got me thinking about pranks we pulled at college (and/or summer camp):
Filling someone's room with balloons or crumpled-up newspapers.
Short sheeting the bed.
Removing all the furniture.
Writing bogus letters "from the Dean."
The prank was by one of my buddies, who blocked his neighbor's door from the inside with a chair, then made his exit by going out the 6th floor window and creeping along the ledge to his own window.
The guys from the floor above tossed a red smoke grenade onto our floor. That wouldn't have been so bad except someone has his underwear in the dryer. The red smoke was suck in, and all his underwear came out pink

I think the worst thing I did personally was to staple a friend to a table after he passed out... I had to - I was drunk and he was disguised as an amoeba...
Other memorable ones: filling the hood of a friends coat with tiny (2mm) polyethylene pellets, so when she put on her hood she was treated with a cascade of pellets... Which happened to be on the bus on her way home! Unsuspected success!
Freezing a can of shaving cream in liquid nitrogen, then peeling of the metal with a pair of pliers. Putting the frozen block of shaving cream in a thermos, and finally releasing it in a friends car right before getting out. Sadly no one was present for his reaction when he got back to his car the next morning and found it full of expanded shaving cream... Judging by the amount of cursing he displyed afterwards it was most likely livid, though.
And one that we still don't know who exactly did - we were all quite intoxicated at the time. All we know is that one guy, let's call him Steve, passed out before anyone else. The day after Steve had to go for an annual medical checkup with the company he was working for. After taking off his clothes the doc starts laughing, saying stuff like "ooh, never seen that one before!". Steve answers "what?". The doc says "that's a good one!". Steve again says "what?". Doc: "eh, you mean you don't know?" Steve: WHAT?!! (worried this time). The doc laughs even harder, but finally lead him to a mirror, turns him around, and prominently displayed on his lower back is an arrow poiting downward, with the worlds "here comes poop" written above it.

We only really played pranks in Junior High, when we were happy and before drugs took over my life
Like grade 8 English, while the teacher was gone (5 minutes before class). Someone grabbed a full roll of masking tape and taped a web around the legs of his desk then passed it on. Most contributed and sent it zig zagging back and forth across the room - then the garbage bin was emptied and everyone contributed bits of their lunch onto the adhesive web. There was eventually a bunch of garbage, magazines, bananas etc. hanging on it and floating all about the room. She got back just as the bell went and everyone was leaving HAHAHAHAHA
The Social Studies "GAUNTLET", two rows of opposing desks up against each other. We'd make the geeks crawl underneath from end to end, inbetween the crooked desk legs while everyone kicked back and forth and chanted. HAHAHAHA they went everytime, sometimes for 4 or 5 consecutive "initiations". Thing is, our rather quiet and VERY easy going comedian teacher finally cracked when he found us doing it one day - and took 3 kids out into the hallway and screamed at the top of his lungs while slamming lockers, everyone inside just froze in terror
As*hole Mc Ritalin was good at small scale, high intensity pranks - like grabbing his girlfriends' purse and throwing like a DOZEN of her tampons across the room in the middle of class instructions. He also sent a note to my girlfriend with a massive detailed penis drawn on it, with the question "How about one of THESE in ya? - From (Zylka)" hehehehe
A Science teacher "Mr. Male" had a big lab like setup with his writing space between the blackboard and a room length covered desk. When he lectured and wrote on the board, he became rather quick and enthusiastic, walking the length of the class in short yet fluid sliding bursts, so it looked to us (behind the desk) that he was floating along while getting all intense in writing and explaining. We couldn't let this happen without laughter, and eventually devised a little game where we repeatedly chanted "Male" while he scribbled, starting softly and not even noticebale to ourselves, and working up to a frenzied, loud pace which sounded more like "MELL-MEOW-MELL-MEOW-MELL-MEOW!". He eventually caught on and busted *us* in pride - screaming "CHANTERS, IF YOU'D LIKE TO CONTINUE MAKING A MOCKERY OF MY NAME, YOU CAN STAY AFTER SCHOOL, (ZYLKA)!"
I wasn't even involved in that chanting session though, as I was trying to stay out of trouble that day - and it landed ME a detention???
My prank was the most legendary, back in Grade 8 English. I was placed at the front of the row and it was an hour long Thursday quiet reading period. The teacher was at her desk reading as well, her eyes down at the book intently and not moving up an inch. Soooo I propped my thighs under my desk, loosely grabbed on to the front edge of the top, and inched my desk forward ever so slightly and without a sound, at a constant, non noticeable rate literally of about a foot a minute. One person finally looked up about 10 minutes later and saw me well at the front and middle of the class, my desk twisted 180 degrees facing everyone else. He barely held in his laughter, and I guess the teacher took it for enjoyable reading, as she didn't notice. Over the next 5 minutes I progressed, and he let others know quietly and you could hear people randomly burst out laughing throughout. Luckily, most of my row were full of like prlcks, and soon the entire row did the same thing and slowly moved across the room - headed by myself (who was eventually out the door and in the hallway). So the desk train continued, and everyone in the class was beat red at the unnoticed disorder, until the teacher finally became aware.
"(Zylka) - you can keep going all the way down the hall and to the office unless you all get your desks back in order immediately!!!"
Not really pranks, I suppose. Sh*tdisturbing nonetheless - amazing times!

That's what happens when you go to an all-engineering school...
Other pranks from the past:
You know the kind of speed meter that displays a message along with your speed (like "you are driving too fast" and " you are driving legally"). A bunch computer engineering students reprogrammed a whole set of those those signs to say "the gas is the pedal in the middle" instead of "you are drving too slow" and "you can do better than that!" instead of "you are driving to fast"
A large group of civil engineering students obtained a set of municpal worker uniforms, blocked off and dug a big hole in the middle of a fairly heavily traficked street.
Then they called the municipal department and said that "a bunch of ****ing students have played a stupid prank: they have dressed up as you guys and dug a hole in the street. You have to go out and fill it in".
about two hours later the same students called the police and said "Some bloody students are playing a stupid prank. They have dressed up as municipal workers and are currently filling in a hole in the street. You have to go and get rid of them".
And yet another 30 minutes later, a second cal to the municipal department, saying "OK, the students aren;t finished with the prank yet. It seems they have dressed up as policemen and are going to try to stop your guys from filling the hole"
Then they watched the ensuing mayhem when police and municipal workers got into a nice little scrap, both of them thinking they were dealing with disguised students... 
And the best of them all:
Two students bought a park bench from the city goveremnt and carried the bench around downtown gothenburg. Efery few minutes they would be stopped by a policeman who would tell them to put the bench back where they got it. They would politely tell the policeman that they bought the bench, and show him the reciept. After a couple of hours the police caught on, and went out over the police radio that two students were playing a prank on the cops - The bench is actually theirs and the cops should just ignore them.
However, the police radio was also monitored at the student union building, where the majority of the school had gathered. As soon as the police edict went out the students spread out all over town and stole every single bench they could find, collecting them in the city square where the built a huge pyramid.

There was a case - Nottingham I believe - where students kidnapped a large statue of a goose and held it to ransom.
Eventually the local council paid out £20,000 towards a new student union bar.
All I can say is, it must have been an expensive statue!
