Legendary school pranks

[Mother of Nanaballis]

My father attended Baylor University, a Baptist school in Texas. He told us that during his time there, one of the most ingenious pranks involved a dead elephant. Apparently the elephant died while the circus was in town. Some creative students stole the elephant's body and placed it on the roof of the science building (5 stories up). School officials couldn't figure out how to get it down, and the campus reeked for weeks.

The football game ones are some of my favorites, since they get a national tv audience for their prank.

This one was fantastically good too, and a good example of one of the great pranking schools getting pranked themselves. I'm surprised they even thought they'd ever be able to pull it off in the first place.
