Well I work in IT and love it for the most part, but would give it up for some WoW and a good game of football.

Question Block Prank


Anyone who has ever played any of the Mario Brothers titles will be familiar with the Mario Question Blocks. Well, 6 teenage high school girls aged 16 -17 went and created 17 of these question blocks and placed them around town last week in the name of street art. This caused havoc with local law enforcement authorities in Ravenna, Ohio, who had deployed the county sheriffs department, Bomb squad and the Hazardous Materials unit to respond to these mysterious packages. There was talk of the girls facing criminal charges, but thankfully common sense prevailed and it was announced yesterday that they will only need to offer apology letters to the various law enforcement agencies. I guess in the US homeland security era, nothing is innocent anymore.
