I've taken to occasionally poking at Yahoo Answers to be either helpful or a royal pain in the arse, depending upon my mood.
Recently, someone asked the following question:
What are some good pranks to pull on a..........?
what are some good pranks that i can pull on my little brother (he is 12)! links are very much appreciated! thank you!
My reply was:
Ahh, you seek one of the grand ancient documents of the Internet, The Complete Wiretap Practical Joke Archive. Few in this post Netscape 2.0 world have seen it, despite it's mythical status as an elder source of many of the practical jokes and revenge strategies of yore.
Despite the demise of Gopher in favor of HTTP, and the rise of monstrosities such as Flash powered sites, The ancient wiretap archives are still online, and the practical joke archive, in all it's hoary glory, can be found there.
So pilgrim, search no longer, for the great archive of the great practical (And not so practical) jokes can be found at the link below.
