I've gotten similar reaction on elevators with just my normal street clothes ???

One of the hospitals the wife had one of "spa retreats" in had an elevator that you entered from one side on the ground floor and exited from the other on the upper floors. After a week or so I had gotten in the habit of going in the elevator, pushing the floor I wanted then turning around to face the rear door. Got a few funny looks till the door opened.

There was a Youtube video out there of a Brazilian show where they put a fake door in the back of an elevator, knocked the lights out for a few seconds, then had spooky little ghost girl appear in the elevator.  People were freaked out.

For Scary Pranks I do love the Dino in the Hallway.

All those so scary they would be illegal in the US pranks do demonstrate that the most common fear response is basically deer in headlights.  I'd be upset about that, but that just means there will be folks slowing up the threat for us to take appropriate action.  Even if that appropriate action is energetic retreat.

It is October, time for Scare Tactics Reruns!

I am sure your choices would be as good or better than mine.  However, just to titillate you, here's my current local favorite clown:

So calling him ( Blatant attempt to bait admins removed) would be right out according to APS guidelines, then?

(Yes, you would be correct!)

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

There are also a few of pranks played on people auditioning and walking down the street, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_957245&feature=iv&src_vid=MuQlz9sIiyQ&v=WSqcdQWxgOY
 
It's a shame that dinosaurs do not walk the earth today.  There is a demonstrated lack of self preservation instinct in most of these people  (from NY/NJ, so I'm really not all that surprised.)

Put me down as being all for Jurassic Park cloning/replication.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
