Ultimate cubicle prank? I don’t think it tops the aluminum foil cubicle, but where do these guys work that they not only have the time, but are actually allowed to construct something like that?

Doesn’t top the foil cubicle??? Are you crazy??? This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Anyone could foil a cubicle. To come up with the idea and execute something like this is amazing!!

I don’t know if I’d call it a prank…more like Outrageous Makeover — Cubicle Edition (to paraphrase Grover from Sesame Street).

YAY FOR PURDUE! Regardless of the fact that I’m in liberal arts all my friends in the engineering departments will love the Star Trek link!
In reply to Beth: West Lafayette and Lafayette are two completely different cities. You’d just need to follow the signs on I-65 and the highways. . .we’re more that willing to help out, we’re really proud of Purdue and love to show it off!
