My first reaction to that story when I first saw it was, "He'd better have a good humidifier, because the static shocks are going to be killer."

I love the "Warning -- ground self before urinating" warning on the toilet. posted by SpecialK at 2:23 PM on January 14, 2004
even the toilet paper.
Yeah, but they just wrapped the whole roll. If they'd really been dedicated, they would have unrolled it, wrapped the paper and then rolled it back up. posted by alms at 2:33 PM on January 14, 2004
Daaaaaaamn, dooooooood! posted by scarabic at 2:38 PM on January 14, 2004
Thats what they did do! Or so I read here: Trerice and his friends unrolled the toilet paper in the bathroom, enveloped the bath tissue in aluminum foil and rolled it back up again.. found it at vbb posted by dabitch at 2:42 PM on January 14, 2004
Oh my.
I am glad my friends aren't so dedicated to pranking me that they'd do something like that! posted by SisterHavana at 2:45 PM on January 14, 2004
This is among the best pranks I've heard of but what an amazing pain in the ass it must have been to clean up.
I'm glad my friends are neither this geeky or dedicated.
Still, cool pics and a great story! posted by fenriq at 2:50 PM on January 14, 2004
Actually, I don't think there'd be any problems with static, as static electricity generally only builds up on non-conductors. posted by fvw at 3:23 PM on January 14, 2004

What, like everyone else's apartment ISN'T wrapped in aluminum foil? posted by ZenMasterThis at 8:07 PM on January 14, 2004
anyone think this may be a conspiracy by the aluminium manufacterers of America? Buy Alcoa Stack NOW! posted by Elim at 12:46 AM on January 15, 2004
Question: did they wrap the Hershey's Kisses, or are they left in their natural state? On second thought, it really doesn't matter, does it? posted by GhostintheMachine at 8:57 AM on January 15, 2004
NICE find sirmissalot. :) posted by skechada at 10:56 AM on January 15, 2004
I have been hoping someone would post pictures about this prank.
The one thing that wasn't wrapped was a book about playing pranks on friends. I love that. posted by terrapin at 11:59 AM on January 15, 2004
