my fave was this one we'd always pull on the newbies during software tools training...
nearly every power strip sape bought had a little raised test button. when pressed, the strip would make a loud, piercing beeeeep, like an alarm going off. subtly stepping on the button while a newbie was working would always elicit panic. ah, those were the days!
of course, you could also wave them around people, pretending it was one of those hand scanners they use at airports. again, the alarm feature lent a wonderful air of credibility to the game.
