"How was work today sweetie?"
"Oh, you know, the usual. Blasted off the end of an aircraft carrier and then shot into the air on an experimental rocket to test out the first insanely dangerous iterations of ejection seats."

I assume and hope they were crash test dummies, but you never know

Did their cart explode when it hit the water? That looks like a comically oversized plume that almost reached up to claim the second guy as he rocketed away :stare:

isn't that why ejection seats now fire a bit left and right in 2 seaters?

No where on that level but my best College prank was a 555 timer circuit attached to a smoke alarm buzzer. It would do one 'bip' randomly in a range of once a day to once a month. Hid it in a curtain rod and got months of satisfaction watching my target slowly descend into insanity. It was payback for the classic 'hiding prawn heads'

I'm a day late but the real trick to this (and something that happened to a friend of mine) is to have two buzzers attached to random timers, that way they can't track down where the beeps are coming from. By the time you start narrowing in on one the other will go off, etc, even if your target takes the time to start logging specific times and directions of beeps and disassembling all the computers and equipment in the lab

also don't do this in a lab it's probably not very osha to drive people insane at work

I got an annoyatron from think geek years ago. It was a little circuit board, battery and piezo speaker that made randomly timed beeps and squeaks. Also had a rare earth magnet on it so you could attach it to lots of things. Used it on our HR lady here. I finally fessed up when I came back to the office and there were two maintenance men with ladders and they're pulling out ceiling tiles.

It's more effective in the shared grad student office than the lab, anyway. I had them forcing each other to leave their computers unplugged for days at a time trying to rule them out, microwave unplugged, coffee machine, etc. Was hilarious!

Do you remember what resistors and capacitors you used to set the timing?

Has Lowtax secretly worked as a government experimental pilot?

yes, after his 3rd ejection they moved him to a diff department in area 51. The work created there eventually lead to the foundation of SA as well as lowtax' expulsion and loss of clearance.

I want to round up every MIT student who has ever hidden one of those annoyotron things and make them physically eat those loving things. With their mouths.

Deploying them on management is always 100% successful. But folks who deploy those things in public are like elevator shitters: UNDESERVING OF MODERN CIVILIZATION.

I hid one at work, my pissed off colleagues eventually got a whiteboard, and recorded intervals. It isnt random.
I eventually had to remove it after they started turning off all our computers to try and isolate it, and started calling building management.

It depends. Generally they are ok unless you are standing in front of a directional dish in operation.
