Pranks With Class

I searched hallowed halls of collegiate pranking to find these 11 gems. Some are classics (the MIT dome pranks) but others, like the Pregnant Pause caper, may be new to you. 

Inspiration for April 1: Got $6,820? Here's a great prank idea.

Angelenos who craned their necks to see what message a skywriting plane was leaving for them on March 23, 2013, did a doubletake. The plane spelled out the words HOW DO I LAND?  No, it wasn’t a cry for help from a novice pilot. It was a stunt dreamed up by comedian Kurt Braunohler. He raised $6,820 to fund the prank on Kickstarter and then let his backers vote on which message to use. The ephemeral joke had a very short life, but luckily, photographer Robyn Von Swank caught it on film.
