Prank Ideas for Nerds

Prank ideas come easy
Sometimes even we nerds need to get our prank on. Come to think of it, we probably need it more than other people since society's cool kids love to beat us down for some reason.
Here are some...
ideas:
- Create a web page designed to lure the people who look for stupid stuff, then insult them when they don't find it on your page. You could optimize a web page around something like "Ashley Greene's nude photos," then proceed to tell the people who find it that they're stupid for looking for it.
- Tell someone to be careful not to hit the F-10 key on their computer or it might blow up. Don't you hate it when people ask you to fix their computers? I do. When I am done working on their computer, I always tell them to be very careful not to hit the F10 key under any circumstances or they might be in for a shock. "Well, it probably won't explode, but you might burn out the C12-24X circuit installed in this model." Depending on how much I like the person, I might let them know that I'm just kidding. If I don't like them, I simply shrug and tell them they should have bought a different model because there's only one workaround for this one.
- Get a pen camera
and put it in your breast pocket, do the above prank and put it on YouTube if you really dislike the person. - Next time some dumb jock asks you to "study with" them or "help them with their homework" (Read: "do their work for them"), tell them that you'd love to but you already promised their girlfriend that you would help her -- and she specifically requested a one-on-one session at her house since her parents won't be home. She needs special attention, apparently. (Works especially well for nerd girls! Tell him it's a "girls only" thing. He'll go nuts!)
- Call up the technical support line of some big company and ask them questions that you know they'll be clueless about. Record the call and make a funny YouTube video out of it. Offer to take the video down for X dollars when the company sends you a cease-and-desist. (Make sure that laws in your state allow recording of phone calls, and be sure to include their "Calls may be monitored" statement in the final product.)
- Ask one of your nerdy friends to help you fix a computer. Unplug the computer from the computer end (not the wall) so that it looks like it is still plugged in. Hide a handshake buzzer (that you can buy at a gag shop) or some other violently vibrating item inside the box. When you crack the box open, hit the buzzer and pretend that you are getting an electric shock. They might catch on quickly depending on your acting skills, but they will freak out for at least a second. For extra laughs, hide a video camera and catch the whole thing!
Oh, I could go on and on, but you're a smart nerd. I'm sure you'll be able to come up with your own prank ideas.
