This is a great prank. I wish I could tell what they are saying. I think the last person says, "This is scary", or "It's scary", or something like that. I was watching it cause it's interesting from a sociological point of view, not that I was laughing at them, oh no, not at all.

Do you remember the names of any? Like when all the people drop to the ground and the prankee drops too, is there a name for that? It seems like an instinctual response. And what about the guy that "runs with the bulls". I assume he thought something terrible was happening and ran too, though he really had no idea what was going on. I always found found "mob mentality" fascinating, but could never get any info on it in college or in books to satisfy me.

Hey, since you are in the IT field--I got an offer from a college to do a Masters in Information Technology--have you worked with or know someone with degrees in IT? What kind of job would you do with it? I was told IT jobs are leaving this country faster than the auto worker jobs too.
