- paperclipsNsoup, on 03/31/2008, -0/+7My favorite prank is one my dad pulled (I wouldn't), he stood over his sleeping friend with a .38 loaded with blanks, woke him up yelling and emptied the gun on him, showering him with hot shells. The guy literally ***** himself.
Again, I wouldn't do it, but my parents were bikers so what are ya gonna do.

- 3leggedHorse, on 03/31/2008, -1/+4 The best prank if it could be done would be to somehow hijack TV broadcasts put up a civil defense message. and run air raid sirens in your town.
Any tech geniuses out there give it ago. - Tatsumi2, on 03/31/2008, -0/+3a lot of time on your hands?
- osfn8, on 03/31/2008, -2/+5I'm turning off the internet tomorrow. Every website tries to do a prank, but they try to hard so most of them are just not funny.
- codered1322, on 03/31/2008, -1/+4It would still just be a rickroll. Hence, totally not a prank.

- capiCrimm, on 03/31/2008, -1/+2why stop there? You could piss in some beer and then throw a kegger. The best part is afterwards when you announce to a bunch of drunken men that they've been drinking your piss all night long. You'll be laughing all the way to the hospital.
- davidrools, on 03/31/2008, -3/+4Well since the site's down, here's one I was just looking at today in preparation for tomorrow.

- borsaid, on 04/01/2008, -0/+0Are you the one that made the comment? I think I'm full within my right to assume this tard wasn't trying to be sarcastic.
- trendhunter, on 04/01/2008, -0/+0@ slotimus - LOL! When I wrote an article about pranks, I didn't expect the Digg Effect to be the prank on me... Anyway, now that the article has fallen to page 2 the site is backup. Pity...
