If you haven't hard from mom already, last night my room was stuck under about an inch of water. The story is that a guy tried hanging something on one of the sprinklers and they went off in his room. The alarm went off we had to exit the building (around 1100 pm ( third time we had to exit the building because of a fire alarm this week, all other times happening after 1030pm as well)). It turns out that the person who set of the sprinklers in his room was in the room right next to us. The sprinklers in our room did not go off, however, the water seeped in through the wall and when we finally were allowed back in the building i came in to see our carpet had some water coming out of it. I was unable to get a hold of my other roommates for a while and spent a half hour unplugging stuff and using a towel to soak up water and transfer it to a bucket. Eventually more and more people came in to help (including my roommates). Finally i was able to get to bed around 100 am. As of now, we are trying to salvage the carpet from mold, its drying in the sun. apart from the carpet we only lost one computer charger (my roommates) and maybe an n64, the 64 is still questionable, were going to wait about 2 weeks to let it dry. We were very Lucky in the fact that we had just got a futon and some other stuff earlier that day and so we rearranged and elevated our two xbox 360's off the ground and out of harms way. All in all it was a pretty entertaining night.
I was just wondering if you guys had any fun stories of mayhem, destruction, and magical creatures.

in bed by 1, <$100 in damage...amateur
the same thing that happened to you happened at Bill Hoy's dorm freshman year.
have you started mattress jousting?
you have one person standing at one end of a hallway holding their twin mattress, and another person on the otherside, then you run at each other.
that's one of my favorite dorm hall activities.
A classmate was showing off by doing pull-ups on a sprinkler pipe in the AHS locker room when (shocker) the pipe burst and started the fire alarm and minor flooding. He got caught because he shin was gashed open on a bench when the broken pipe and gravity conspired against him and brought him crashing down.
Science class freshman year, also at AHS, a classmate and I were given permission detonate a dry ice bomb outside on the big lawn as a vaguely scientific demonstration. We were lucky no one was seriously hurt. It was the teacher's last year before retirement and he was pretty laid back.
I can't speak too much about my college years due to on-going investigations, but I did visit Sam at a college called Luther a few years back. I witnessed a phenomenon known as naked soccer. This strange practice was then terminated. I think that the school closed shortly after that.
I also got involved in a minor prank war that culminated with me stealing the numbers off of the apartment door of one of my neighbors. Pretty lame I know, but at least I didn't get kicked out of student housing like Dad's friend. He knocked on a girl's door and when she answered he tossed a wastebasket full of recently lit fireworks into her room. Simple but effective. I forget how it all started.
You should focus on your studies and not orchestrate elaborate pranks like this. The cups are all filled with water and really annoying to clean up, but I would recommend using paper or red plastic cups. Styrofoam is bad news.
It's much easier, but ulimately less rewarding, to simply toss a fish into the closet of your enemy.
to add on to Fred's prank with the cups if you have the live bait store in iowa, adding a minnow to each cup will add an element in the sense that they cannot simply tip over cups or else they will killthe minnows, also it is best executed when the person is in bed. Depending on how mean you are you could use mousetraps.
