I bet somebody was pissed....

I am truly, truly impressed. I did some crazy shit in my college days but this is the next level. Well played, sirs and madams.

The worst we ever did at school was put ducks in the swimming pool. This is awesome!!

We covered our High School building in about 120 rolls of tp, which they had cleaned up within an hour(Ah, the old days when the school just patiently waited for the prank to be over and cleaned up the mess, and the cops just drove around the building to watch you scatter and run. Nowdays, you'd have SWAT teams and crying school administrators. Kids would end up in jail.). THIS is epic, but some of those colleges come up with amazing pranks.

I walked over there last night after work to look at it, very sadly it was gone.

Carleton students are very smart. Their pranks show it.

even if it was a prank this proves how creative the ones who made it are. to take the time to make a building minus the rockets to look like r2d2. talk about genius at work.

My alma mater! I'm so proud. (It's spelled as "Carleton", but it's still awesome to be on the front page of TR.)

Nice! I also work in Northfield, and didn't get to see it in person.

btw since no one has mentioned it yet, nice end commentary there, Rob ;)

"You there, have these droid's memories wiped. Oh, and remove anything that would make the smaller one cool or useful in any way for the next 30 years or so"

It might be the angle of the picture, but the roof looks like there is no ledge around the base of the dome. How did they manage to paint/chalk on RD's face without killing themselves?

And Rob, R2D2's rockets were removed because that was where his memory files on Anakin were stored. It wasn't like you could just go out to Space Wal-Mart and buy another droid.

It can't be just me. The arrangement of the door, front stoop, and the stonework around it look just like gotse.

WOOOO! Minnesota! :D Our best and our brightest, ladies and gentlemen.

Carleton student here. I didn't get a chance to see it, but my girlfriend was out and about early that morning and snapped a picture. Sadly, it was all cleaned up by midmorning. There's been a string of senior pranks around campus lately, and this is by far the best. Second place will probably be the people who stole the suit of armor (we're the Knights) from the student union without getting caught – assuming they give it back after graduation. Knowing Carls, this is very likely.

was much better when MIT did it. YEARS AGO.
fail.

its carleton, not carlton

jackass...

christ. how did i miss that? truly epic.
