MightyCow,
too bad we have such large bathrooms that the mirrors never fog up. A message in the mirror would be great.

One I have always wanted to try is putting marbles in the medicine cabinet. Hold up cardboard to get them all in, close the door and slide out the cardboard. This is great for a party, because when someone snoops in the medicine cabinet all those marbles bouncing off of tile lets everyone know they're snoops.

Those jokes using screenshots for wallpaper are hilarious!

We did this once with a wireless PS1 controller. I set them both to 1 so they controlled the same thing. Then while we were playing Driver (single-player) I sat behind the kid playing and editorialized. I started out small, just making him go wide on turns and stuff. I thought he would catch on. Finally I just kept crashing it into walls. Our giggling finally clued the kid in. [ROFL]

Morbo, that is hilarious. There are so many more possibilities for that with the Wii controls. [Big Grin]

I love changing the auto correct feature. Would it be in appropriate to have it change some commonly used word to a mild curse word or maybe slang? Or maybe you could have it replace phrases with internet acronyms. Replace "Thank you very much" with "TYVM",

"Thank you very much (TYVM),
As far as I know (AFAIK)
By the way (BTW)
In my opinion (IMO)
I don't know (idk)

Do the nuns in your monestery wear habits that all look very similar? If so, you could try switching them around so that some sisters are putting on habits that are 2 sizes two small while others are swimming in habits that are several sizes too big.

My brother did that to me once. We were playing Super Smash Brothers, I think. It was a long time ago, and I didn't wonder why I was doing so good.

-Get all the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash containers you can. Any similar bottles. Take off the cap and cover the opening with clear food wrap and put the caps back on.

-Talk like pirates the entire day.

-Replace a word you say all the time with 'Frappy'

-Talk in anything but English

In our monastery we wear simple clothing but no longer do we dress in a similar fashion. I have heard of this joke being pulled several years ago when sisters did still wear habits. Actually, I think the most popular incarnation of it involved older sisters switching postulant capes just before vespers.

Get a hold of any shoes with laces on them. Untie the laces and tie all the shoes together. Hang the shoes somewhere high.

[Confused] But noodles are easy to eat with chopsticks... Orzo, now, or alphabet soup, that would be tricky.
I guess so, unless you make the spaghetti slippery like udon. I was imagining the tasteless boarding house spaghetti I used to get...

Maybe a T-bone would be more appropriate. Yeah, alphabet soup would be good too. [Smile]

I wasn't looking for this, I just saw it on FAZED.COM. It's funny how when something is brought to your attention it starts popping up anywhere.
Humorless Microsoft has a screensaver that mimics the BSoD!

I just saw this, and I feel I must contribute.

The best practical jokes I ever pulled involved clear fishing wire connected to every moving thing in a bedroom, including light switches, a vacume cleaner, wrapped around the necks of several stuffed animals, the heating grate, a pair of scissors, and a bunch of glow in the dark circles. A single line attached to all of these things, hanging from a window with a nice heavy weight holding it down, produces HILARIOUS results when pulled strongly. Keep in mind that it has to be pretty heavy duty fishing line to accomplish its task. I'd be more than willing to send you some good fishing line if you choose to pull this one, as long as my copyright is acknowledged...

Another successful joke that always gets a laugh involves some good heavy duty plastic wrap and a toilet. Pull the wrap as tight as possible around the bowl with the seat up and tape it with clear tape. Put the seat down and wait for the hilarity to ensue. An added element that might not be so appropriate for older sisters is Turtle Wax on the seat. The screech and then the thump is just... priceless.

Personally, I avoide practical jokes which result in bodily injury, biohazards, or hurt feelings. I would guess most toilet jokes fall securely into these categories.

They're NUNS, for crying out loud!

And flying scissors?

Yeah, toilet humor would definitely not go over well.

How about starting a rumor that the place is going co-ed? You could wander around with clip boards and tape measures making detailed diagrams of the new facilities.
