MIT Halo Prank: John P. Harvard goes Halo
As you may already know, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a long history of pranking (or hacks, as they call them) both on their own campus and at other schools. Though there have been some real winners over the years, this new one, captured today by MIT newspaper The Tech, really takes the cake.
To mark the Halo 3 release, MIT students gifted the John P. Harvard statue in Harvard Yard with a Spartan helmet (with “Master Chief in Training” written on the back) and an assault rifle. All we can say is “Wow.” We may not be able to talk to MIT students very long at parties without getting sleepy, but when it comes to pranks, it’s clear that we all speak the same language: Nerd.

Lego iPhone
LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya stays right on top of the news with his blocky replicas, and following up his Halo 3 Master Chief creation we showed you yesterday is his next LEGO model, an iPhone. Since he calls himself a “brick artist,” could he be reacting to the prospect of the iPhone turning into a brick if you hack it? One thing’s for sure, the former attorney wants to make some money while the getting’s good, charging exactly the same price for this LEGO iPhone as the real one, $399.
