Hackers, Old Style

Web site of the Day is the MIT Hack Gallery. As they say:

The word hack at MIT usually refers to a clever, benign, and "ethical" prank or practical joke, which is both challenging for the perpetrators and amusing to the MIT community (and sometimes even the rest of the world!). Note that this has nothing to do with computer (or phone) hacking (which we call "cracking").
Some favourites:
The Great Droid
Trogdor the Burninator in Post-It Notes
The Elevator in the Basement
The Gnome Infestation
There are many more, with pictures. There's a Best Of page too, which might be a good place to start.
