@futurebird why the fuck is Pavlov's Dog the canonical example of this sort of thing when the MIT Pigeon Prank's just sat there?

@futurebird If you're a fan of this sort of thing, I recommend the book "If at All Possible, Involve a Cow" or the MIT hacks page: http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/

@futurebird Seems apocryphal, from all that I can find out (MIT alum here).Also, Harvard stadium security is more present nowadays.However, a small aerial drone dragging a black & white striped cloth, playing a whistle, shooting breadcrumbs at the same time each day... that should be do-able.I mean, yeah, they have security. But do they have air defenses?

@futurebird how about the students who disassembled a car... and resembled it around a spike on the roof of the college?

@futurebird we know this is not an MIT prank because it lacks the hallmark of MIT pranks: an engineering component.

@futurebird my mother was an MIT student and — I don’t recall all the stories she told me well enough to recount confidently, but pranking Harvard was definitely a thing in the 60s-70s too 😂😂😂😂

@futurebird MIT student pranks played on Harvard are the original 'hacks', etymologically, and everyone is erasing this important part of lexical history.
