And to think, a "normal" prank when my dad was in the Baptist college here in LA, where his dad, the preacher, was a dean, they set off aerial bomb fireworks in the dorm halls! *BOOM!* doors open, everyone looks out, *BOOM!* the shell goes off at the other end. All hell breaks loose.

I dunno why dad was expelled. 5 times...

My first year in college, some whit ignited a maritime distress flare in the dorm.    You have NO IDEA  what a mess those things can      leave behind. >:D

I guess the thread title has some of you people buffaloed. The story is that the student thought he heard a gun being loaded in a bathroom stall, and then thought he saw the gun. Many of the responses here make as much sense as the guy pulling the fire alarm.

Edit: Make that "less sense."

I could see where having a sound effects device that faithfully replicates firearms sounds would be a lot of fun.
Hell, even some mp3 files played from a small, good quality audio source might be enough to get folks bent out of shape.
Hmmm, I'll have to give that some thought.   >:D
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.

I can't believe it made to page two without someone posting this:

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.
