Best prank ever?

(No pictures, because they'd ruin the surprise.)

A few winters ago, it snowed in North Carolina. Apparently this is an unusual occurrence, and even a little bit of snow causes everything to close - schools, places of business, etc.

News 14 Carolina, a local cable news station, had a running ticker of cancellations, and allowed people to submit cancellations through their website. However, a bunch of college students discovered that all cancellations were being placed on the ticker immediately, without anybody looking at them. So, being college students, they started submitting some of their own.

Here is the message board thread which contained the hijinks in their entirety. Or, if you're too impatient to read through all that (too bad for you), here are screen captures of some of the funniest to make it through.

If some of the humour seems dated, remember that this was 2004.

Enjoy!
