This actually happened about three months ago but I never got time to share.
Since I came into my lab two years ago I have become involved in an age long battle between biologists and computer scientists (when I say age long I really mean never existing). The biologists and technicians called me "Neo", asked me regularly if I was hacking into the FBI's website, and complained when they couldn't use my computer (I'm running Fedora Core 6). I called their bench work fancy biological hand waving.
An exceptionally good prank of theirs was wrapping my computer, mouse, monitor and keyboard all unplugged in bubble wrap. I actually thought we were moving labs. Pure comedy. I got the tech back by remotely logging into his Mac and having it sing a little tune for him. It seemed like this kind of fun would last forever but alas all good things come to an end and our lab technician was offered a position somewhere else. On his last day as a truce at work I allowed him to go ahead and fool around with my workstation one last time. The following pictures are his depiction of his thoughts on Linux.
