GeniusIn halls at uni if someone goes away for the weekend arm yourself with a large (wholesale large) bag of flour, a hairdryer and a piece of paper. You put one edge of the paper under their door pour some flour on to it and start blowing with the hairdryer so the flour is essentially funneled under the door. This takes patience and time but you have to use as much flour as you can physically be arsed to. You really have to be there when they get back from their trip but it is really quite beautiful.
They open their door and everything in their room is completely covered in flour, it's like snow always looks in the movies except it's indoors and it's real...and the cleaners hate you forever!
If you have a friend with a house and they're going away, or indeed if they have a room they don't go into much cover the carpet in mustard seeds (the ones you proved could grow in virtually anything at school)and some water. After a few days the seeds start to germinate, they return to the house, or enter the back room after a week or so, and they have a carpet of mustard. Again very funny but also quite beautiful. Don't do it on their brand new shagpile unless you hate them because it can be a bitch to clean up. If you're actually friends with them I'd recommend a rug they might not mind chucking if you want to continue to be friends with them!
