Jokes

[Rhys]

A few PC related jokes I have done

1. Changed automatic spell words e.g. Regards becomes Cheers me old mucka.
2. Set up a sound to go off when email arrives but for that email to be sent to Delete folder
3. Setup YMCA ringtone for when level one blackberry messages are received.
4. Send fake emails via a website so you can pretend to be someone else.

Im looking for a really good joke that can be done to someone here. Any ideas?

EDIT - On Windows XP...

I played a similar joke on one of my teachers. I set his Windows XP shutdown sound to Hey Mickey by Toni Basil. You'd have to sit there for three minutes while the entire song played.

He fixed the problem by switching to Debian.

A well known one is to take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the background and then turn all the icons off.

Can't ever remember how to remove all the icons though

Switched keyboards and mouse on a PC at school so that I was controlling the person sitting opposite PC.

Done the same with speakers, and then used the built in text to voice program in order to speak to the user.

Set a shutdown command running in a batch file as a scheduled task every 5 mins

Forgot when I last did that...

This thread reminded me of that! I knew someone would beat me to posting it.

Got to be done!

At uni we can press a key combination to make the desktop go sideways, can't remember the cobination though.

I think it's ctrl-alt-arrow key.

That depends on the video hardware and drivers.

On ours its Alt-Gr, cursor.
At work one of our chaps added a folder labelled "porn" to someones desktop, took a screenshot, deleted the folder and made the screenshot their background
The target was quite simple and couldnt work out what was going on

Lad that sits opposite me decided to play a practical joke one day, so a week later I took a spare mouse, plugged it into one of the USB ports on the back of his pc and put the mouse under my desk. Every now and then while he was working, I'd tap or shake the mouse with my foot. Whenever he'd scream in outrage and call anyone nearby to come and watch, I'd stop. He called the IT folk half a dozen times. He seriously thought he was going crazy. He'd sit and stare at his PC for ages waiting for it to move. By the end of a week, I think he was just short of a nervous breakdown - when he finally looked like he was about to cry, I broke the news and didn't stop laughing for an entire day. Ahhh, sweet memories.
