Won’t Get Fooled Again

Another April First has gone by and thankfully the Forum has not heard of (or faced) any J-Board charges for this year’s shenanigans. We played our own April Fools prank but we’ve also heard of a few others on campus.

Sticky (Note) Business

Christophe Bindert of West Side Appleby decided it was time to get back at suitemate Brett Spencer after Brett submitted a number of personal ads to craigslist on Christophe’s behalf. Christophe responded by rallying a few of his friends and covering all of Brett’s things with Post-it notes.

It took four people two hours and thousands of sticky notes but the effect was well worth the effort.

Aiding and Bedding

A number of the PPE students conspired to play a prank on fellow student Divya Vishwanath. You can watch their hijinks here. Long story short, the class arranged for Divya to be arrested in the middle of class by a fellow student impersonating a police officer. Even Professor Elliot was enjoying the joke.

Rose Gets a Facelift

Jacinth Sohi, the new Rose Institute student manager was the target of another elaborate prank. She told the Forum,  “There used to be a picture of the founder of the Rose Institute, Edessa Rose, hanging in the Rose but it was recently stolen. Abhi [Nemani] and Patrick [Eagan-Van Meter] found a scan of the picture and then photoshopped my head onto Edessa’s body. They then printed a 5-foot picture of the image and hung it at the Rose. Also, many of the Rose employees made it their profile picture on Facebook.”
