How does this make them hackers?
-
I just wanna roll it!
-
Pranks at MIT are apparently called hacks: http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/by_year/, hence "MIT Hackers..."
-
I love it when college kids do something creative... it is making history!
-
Dugg for using 'die' instead of 'dice'.
-
I wonder if most students/faculty at MIT knew why the die was placed there.
-
Oh man, Take that MIT!!! Wow, thats some statement...
-
Hackers? ? ? ?
-
Instead of "hacking" some ***** like this, students needs to be turning over cars and setting fire to public buildings in protest of all the atrocities the Bush administration has commited over the past 7 years. What happened to the 60's?
-
ground breaking prank ...
-
They hacked into reality and somehow created this ultimate, super flimsy looking die. Damn you!
-
Any other MIT Class of 2012 here?
-
Nerdy!
-
"man that stupid frost giant i play with always rolls 20's"
-
NNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
-
Great work, MIT has a history of doing wonderful pranks like this. I wonder what this years Cal Tech - MIT pranks will be.
-
Shouldn't they be making money by playing blackjack instead of wasting their time making an icosahedron.
-
Those dudes sure know how to live it up.
-
I thought "The Hackers" was their football team's name. Their Mascot's a guy named Todd who wears taped up glasses and two pocket protectors and waves a calculator at the stands... "one + two equals three ...how about a win for M.I.T...goooooo team!!!"
(no hate mail please) -
Anyone know what materials they used to make it? Was it a big heavy object, or a construction paper blow in the wind die.
-
shame it's not more permanent and solid. it looks like pvc piping covered in printed cloth...
-
Nerd homage.
-
huge public statement of virginity
-
20-sided dice on campus as a prank? That's just how they roll.
-
GΣΣKS RULΣ!
-
Those zany nerds and their mischievous pranks!
/buried -
I bet they rolled a 20 for double damage!
-
As far as MIT's 'hacks'... there's also hakmems :)
-
I roll twenties!

MIRROR PLZ -
Make saving throw vs. awesome.
-
I guess a 17 was rolled, any other guesses?
-
how are they hackers?
-
how is this a prank?
-
For an MIT prank this one sucks. They do some nice pranks when they put their minds to it.
-
*Points out that Kevin Rose went to MIT*
Fawn people, fawn! -
Does anyone have a mirror?
-
Dugg for "inventor of the Dungeons and [the] Dragons"
-
It's called a hack, not prank.
-
Why is MIT full of such huge nerds? Being a nerd myself (although not a D&D nerd), I have to digg this.
-
A fitting tribute.
-
Dugg for the obvious tribute to Gary Gygax. He's rollin' nothing but twenties now.
-
So lame...
-
wow that was insane
