pranks

It seems certain that last year stood as the Year of the Prank. With examples ranging from that terrifying zombie corpse to the ghostly little girl terrorizing elevator riders, we were rather nervous that 2013 wouldn't hold up. Luckily, thanks to this hoax pulled off at a beauty salon, there's still hope!

Milk does a prank good.

A pair of teachers (not pictured) at Roseland Public School in Ontario, Canada, pulled a mean prank on their students. They told the eighth-graders that their end-of-the-year school trip would be to Disney World. The next day, they announced that the trip would merely be to a bowling alley. Ha ha?

This surely makes waiting for the bus a little less boring.

Want to do something nice for your sweetie on Valentine's Day? DON'T pull the baby-powder-in-the-blow-dryer prank. (But if you do anyway, be sure to film it, thanks!)

How was your Valentine's Day? Probably better than this guy's. At least, that's what these passersby were thinking...

We've all been tempted to do this, have we not? Seeing the extensive list of salad topping choices on a menu is almost like telling someone not to look down from a ledge; we so badly want to! Sadly, we just can't seem to bring ourselves to spend $229.93 on a salad. However, thanks to this video from College Humor, we don't have to. They've done it for us.

There's nothing quite so funny as watching people who think they're about to be implicated in misdemeanor-level crime. And these pranksters know it.

Many artists go to great, uncomfortable lengths to immerse themselves in their work. I'm not sure if you could call what Stuart Edgington and Kaitlin Snow have done in this video "art," but there's no questioning their commitment to this wonderfully offensive project.

Jumping on the lengthly line of recent pranks on the Internet -- or perhaps moving straight to the front of that line -- this one of a driverless car is quickly racking up the views.

YouTube It's not even the slightest bit of a secret that we love a good practical joke. We even kind of like the bad ones. Basically, as long as nobody winds up in a hospital, we're on board. So it should come as no surprise that we are BIG fans of the TruTV show 'Impractical Jokers ...

Here's a little gem from the TruTv reality show 'Principal's Office.' We aren't really sure how the principal thought it was going to go when he brought in two student "leaders" to ask them for help solving the school's "grinding" problem, but this seems about right.
