If you want programming pranks, you should check out a copy of
The Legends of Caltech.  The last one was the McDonald's Affair
which shows the very simple Fortran program to print out names and
addresses.  Enter as many times as you like.  Like 1.5 million.
This was about 1/3 of the total entries and they expected to win
1/3 of the prizes: mostly food, but also 5 small cars and 1 sports car.
McDonalds came out and said that for each Caltech won prize a
separate non-Caltech prize would be awarded.  This resulted
in coupons now saying "No electronic means of duplication.

Legends of Caltech is available from the Caltech bookstore for $10
along with the Richard Feynman CD and other curious and strange things.
Many other programming pranks (such as the reprogramming of the
Rose Bowl sign) can be found in RISKS.

This list is getting too long to read.  Starting to impact work!
