<p>Phuriki,
What do you mean by not pulling it off? I mean, you just need to hand out the t-shirts; I doubt the Caltech students invented some robots for this purpose...</p>
<p>I mean this:</p>
<p>It's not funny unless you have an element of surprise. Caltech's prank was successful because they handed out the shirts, people wore them because of the "MIT" logo on front, and only afterwards did the shirt-wearers find out that they'd been pranked.</p>
<p>Due to the popularity of this prank, if we just went up to Harvard and started handing out shirts with Harvard on the front and with our slogan or whatever on the back, people would notice relatively quickly, and no one would wear the t-shirts.</p>
<p>Basically, what I'm saying is this... if there's no element of surprise/confusion, the prank just isn't funny. Why do you think Caltech's Rose Bowl prank was so funny? Because, basically, it just stunned everyone.</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess you're right. We need something original.
Sooooo....... why don't we put the great intellectual minds at Chicago to good use for this purpose?</p>
<p>Oh, just thought of a good UChicago prank - ran the economy of South America into the ground in the 1970s.</p>
<p>Yeah, UChicago economists are a bunch of prankers.</p>

<p>(Yes, I know Greenspan isn't affiliated with Chicago, but funny nevertheless.)</p>
