# I used to live
in a shared house, and no one locked their doors. We'd only perform minor pranks on each other, though. Two of the guys used to go out and find the most graphic gay porn they could, download it onto the other's computers, and make it into a password-protected screensaver. Good times.

# Always password protect your work
Many moons ago in student house in Manor House .... housemate was writing a project for his economics degree, finished a paragraph with "as Harding stated." .... FORCED you understand by the laws of comedy, we changed it to "and Harding stated that felching was most salubrious" ... did he proof-read it before submitting? did he f*ck .... did we laugh? I nearly soiled myself :)

# 6th form
did this MANY times at college... even putting stuff in capitals in work... queue the Business Studies teacher inviting One person up to the front of class to read their "paragraph" with contained the words "WIBBLE WIBBLE FLOP" in caps in the middle of a sentence..


Also at uni we played the "using a word" game.. where someone though of a word and you had to use it in a sentence in your report...

good examples are

"Young males are considered the JISM of society"

and

"In the same BENDY STRAW marketing strategy"

# we did that
we drew up a whole list of words and had various points for each, the highest scoring being "eke eke eke pitang, zoop boing bleaughru". I got "bottom face" 3 times and "played with her breasts" once in one assignment.

# This happened in a mate's lab at Univeristy when he was doing his PhD
Someone had left their final draft of their PhD thesis on one of the lab computers. Somebody did a replace on all occurences of the word 'organism' to 'orgasm'. They didn't notice until after they had submitted the thesis.
