That prank SOUNDS TERRIFIC! I need to do something like that... it's not possible to plug in a wired keyboard... but it's definitely possible with a wireless keyboard! Heh heh heh! Thanks so much for dropping by and giving that tip... I think I need to consolidate all the additional prank tips that I have received in the comments section and form a new post! :D #<strong>Mythri</strong>: Thank you, Mythri! You must try this at work! Just a word of caution that cannot be emphasized enough: choose your target wisely! :) Welcome to my blog! Thanks for commenting! And I loved your blog too - you have a new subscriber! :-) #Nix:

We all have laptops with docking stations, the docking stations have heaps of spare USB slots, so I plugged in an extra keyboard, hid the cable and put it under my desk. We started off nice and subtle, only typing in a letter here and there, and heard the boss backspacing like mad. Then, when you know he's reading the email, hold down the enter key. It opens up a zillion email screens and it stressed him out completely...it was fantastic! Another one I did was unplug his external monitor from the docking station, and plugged in another monitor cable into it so it looks like it's still plugged in - this one had him stumped the whole morning!!

Then replace it with your friend's battery. :D and watch him go mad !! I once tried this, and put in a completely juice-less battery in my friend's computer! Unfortunately, he was going to give a presentation to a prof, and his computer wouldn't start !! He was beyond his wits about what happened !! Another time, I had taken out the whole battery itself, and my friend had not noticed. As soon as he took out the charger - zoop! He was really mad at me that time !!! :D Another really funny idea:

But I think you are right - I use Outlook Exchange 2003 - and I had disabled that option (saves on memory) but many don't do that! It IS dangerous, if pranked unwisely :) Actually, hostel IS one of the safest place to play pranks! Most people don't realize it, think they have been infected by a virus and end up reinstalling the whole OS! :D #Anubhav:
