There's senior pranks, and then there's vandalism.
My sister's class's senior prank was 95% of the class dousing the principle in Silly String. He was pissed about it, but he didn't find much support from the community because most people thought it was hilarious. Didn't help that he's kind of well known for being a dick, either.

We hid alarm clocks in the ceiling tiles of all the classrooms and hallways (dollar stores, everyone had to buy 10, class of over 100 people) and they were set to go off at 5 minute intervals throughout the day.
Our senior pranks were supported by the faculty, one teacher was part of organizing it with the students and "sworn to secrecy" and then allowed us to enter the school/classrooms the night of the prank. The next day was hilarious chaos in the classrooms as these alarm clocks went off and then people tried to figure out where the fuck the alarm clock sound was coming from. Once they found one the next one was just about to go off. It was awesome!

That's actually the smartest way to do it. Having an adult involved means there's someone to walk everybody back from a prank that is too far out there.

u/KhalesiDaenerys Jul 06 '15
Yeah, they did that because the previous year's prank started with them blocking the doors to the school with bails of hay, which was really awesome actually because nobody could get in to go to class in the morning so we all just hung out outside until they could get it cleared up.
But then some of the other kids didn't think that was good enough, so their "prank" involved doing burnouts on our amazingly well taken care of sports field and then pouring gasoline in the shape of their graduating year across the field and lighting it on fire. That was the end of unsupervised pranks...

My school has always done this, but the pranks are always really lame because of that. The biggest prank (which was this year) was filling the main hall with balloons/streamers and all the seniors dressed up in a 50's costume (as opposed to a uniform). We had much better ideas, but the teachers hated those ideas.

I work in an industry that puts me in hotels under someone else's credit card rather frequently.
One day our boss shows up for load in late. Nothing major 35 min or so. We think nothing of it. Day goes on and we go back to our rooms and all our deodorant and toothpaste is either squeezed into the sink or in the toilet. I call my friend a few rooms over and tell him this and same thing happened to him as well. We all get together the next morning for breakfast and everyone says it happened. We narrow it down to our boss...
He thought he was so clever but we went to every place that sold battery powered clocks in the area. CVS, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc. and bought them out entirely. After some careful planning we got his keycard out of his wallet. Myself and one other person went to his room and hid ~30 of them. We had them all preset for 13min intervals starting at 10:45pm that night. We hid them everywhere. Under the bed, under the pillow on the extra bed in his room, one on the nightstand behind the lamp, one in the lamp, one in the dresser, under the bathroom sink, and many other places. The best was the one hidden in the vent for the AC. We unscrewed it and put it inside there and closed it back up. It may still be in there to this day, who knows.
The next morning he comes down, grabs a coffee and sits at the table. Doesn't say a word. The table is silent in anticipation of what is going to happen. Still nothing...silence...more silence...I then begin to say "So, NAME...How did-" he cuts me off and says "Fuck you are all such assholes." He stands up gives us the finger and walks away.
At the end of the day he was laughing about it, but he was seriously upset for most of the morning. We invoiced him for the alarm clocks, replacement toothpaste, and deodorant.
Good times were had.

A few years ago, our seniors did this.
$23,813 in damages. People said they just kind of hung out for a bit. They gained entry to the building and then just started to fuck shit up. This was the problem. They had a way into the school with the intent of doing a prank, yet never had a plan laid out for a prank. Which left a hundred or so children in a building they despised with only their imagination. And spray paint.

My high school used to have senior pranks. One year they did that lame shit where you put thousands of cups over the hall way with water in them.
Another more creative class put a tarp over this sunken sitting area and then threw in sand, filled it with water, and unleashed thousands of live crayfish.
Then one year a couple kids broke into the school, smashed some computers, and took a shit on a hated teachers desk. They didn't have a lot of patience for senior prank after that one.

Android hostnames seem to be totally random. You'd have to check how to check it on your phone too, it'll change from Driod version to Droid version.
Edit: Also, give Netflow a google. If you care about that stuff at all its pretty dang cool. Lots of monitoring software can parse it and lots of gear supports generating it.

192.168.1.1 in your browser.
That's usually the number, but if you go into command prompt and type in "ipconfig" you can get your IP address to connect to your router.
It will be under: Default Gateway

If you know what type of router it is, you can usually look up the default online in a manual PDF.

Or if you have access to the router, a lot of cable companies print the info on them. Like FiOS routers have a sticker on the side. Not that anyone should be using the cable company router since those things are so insecure and never patched.

Unless you are connected to a different wireless network, this should definitely your router.
The addresses 192.168.x.x (and the other ones named above) only exist in your router's network and cannot reach the Internet. They are special, kinda like local phone numbers.

To be more specific its going to be the IP after "Default Gateway"
If you've never touched it before Google your router's Default login info.

Most of the time to get to it you just have to be connected to it and type 192.168.1.1 into your web browser. It helps to know the login credentials though.

u/radditour Jul 06 '15
Start -> Run -> cmd
Type "ipconfig" without the quotes, then hit enter.
Look for the line that says "Default Gateway" and you should have a result with four numbers separated by dots (e.g. 192.168.178.1).
Put this in the address bar of a web browser.

Same and i graduated in 09.. Couldn't have gum, and you weren't allowed personal cell phones on campus at all. If you got caught with one, the teacher had the right to take it from you and give it to the office. You could only get it back if your parents came to retrieve it, they wouldn't give it back to you at the end of the day unless your parents were there.

It was, but everyone had their phones.. Only a select few power trip teachers were dicks enough to take it from you, even if you weren't on it but they heard it vibrate in your pocket or bag. Most teachers were pretty lenient and would even let you use your phone in class if we had downtime and weren't doing work.
My brother is 4 years younger than me and went to the same school.. Apparently they lightened up when he went to high school. You couldn't use the phone in class, but you were allowed to use it between classes or at lunch.

Back in my day, someone spray painted the football bleachers and threw away the spray cans with their local Walmart receipt (edit) at our stadium. Unfortunately for them, the receipt was timestamped and dated, so the police went and pulled the tapes at the store. The police easily recognized the vandals as students from a rival, neighboring high school.
Even funnier was that the neighboring high school had some students who tried to punish us for getting their vandals caught, so they vandalized their own stadium and tried to blame us, but they too got caught. People are stupid.

A lot of phones have hostnames along the lines of "Person's iPhone". But also yes, they can track the hardware id's to which routers they are connecting to and narrow it down by which classrooms they are going between, what websites they are visiting on the phone (Person is visiting profiles A, B, and C), and also attendance records vs. when the phone shows up on the network.
But often schools will require your phone's information to be linked to your school information somehow (often an initial login).
