I have a better one. Yank the power cord out, and slap him with it.

I once made a small joke program in Quickbasic. It acted like there was a major error and it tried to fix it (with the screen bumping like crazy). It eventually said it could not fix the error and started to reformat the harddrive. It would of been real nice if the person I did it to knew that formating the HD would wipe out all data... they just stood there "Ok, what's it doing now?"... not "Oh my God!!! It's formatting!!!"

Here's a prank for the office-

Pop the 'n' and 'm' keys off the keyboard and put them back in the opposite place.

Try teaching year 7's to screenshot, they get scared when you tell em 'print screen' literally means 'take screenshot of the screen and use the printer' what idiots....doesn't anyone trust me? Well all in good reason I guess

I can't play pranks on my boss, would be dangerous, being a kitchen and all, so insults works just as well

to annoy teachers/bosses, throw the computer on the floor and say it crashed and a technician needs to see to it, I would do it the the dep. Head of sixth form...but he has been known to throw the odd chair in stress....

Take a guess! Ctrl+A is the shortcut for 'Select All' and if you press 'Enter' when an icon is selected, it opens it. Put 2 and 2 together and you should realise what happens.

Actually, it really won't affect him. Unless of course you change the key layout on the computer.
