<div class="IPBDescription">Meet Anton Chekov!</div> Some guys <a href='http://improveverywhere.csbl.net/chekov/' target='_blank'>pulled a prank</a> involving Anton Chekov. If you have no idea who that is, he's a famous Russian playwright who died in 1904. First they did a reading in a Barnes & Noble store in Union Square, then they did book signings in a park. This is one of the funniest things I've ever read. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    That is awesome, usually I feel bad for people who have a prank pulled on them, but this is actually pretty nice (aside from people losing money buying books that are signed by someone who's dead).

    (can see everyone reading the site by the names at the bottom of the page <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

    Really, I mean come on... Chekov, it's not an anonymous author or anything... God, I can't believe people fell for that <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If you go to the entire site <a href='http://improveverywhere.csbl.net' target='_blank'>here</a> and go to 'Conquests' there are a lot more of them. The 'The Moebius' one is cool. Only other one I've read so far.

    Okay, okay, this is awesome, it's safety shark!

    <img src='http://improveverywhere.csbl.net/shark/sshark4.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
    Now this one is completely awesome, especially the end:

    <!--QuoteBegin-SAFETY SHARK!!!+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (SAFETY SHARK!!!)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Only one day after the famous Shark Attack on Chapel Hill, a strikingly similar shark appeared on the late night Franklin St. scene, The Safety Shark.  Unlike the vicious shark from the previous day, The Safety Shark was a friendly creature, promoting a message of driving home sober.  "Hello everyone!  I'm Safety Shark!  Remember not to drink and drive tonight!  No drunk driving, kids!".

    Safety Shark greeted Chapel Hill students as the exited the bars at 1:00 AM with his friendly greeting of safety.  Unfortunately, not everyone was quite so friendly back to Safety Shark.  Pretty quickly, a man wearing a Heineken bucket on his head began to taunt Safety Shark.  The two icons faced off in a battle of words, Safety Shark standing for responsible drinking and Heineken Helmet promoting drunken revelry.

    The females on the street were far friendlier to Safety Shark.  Many requested to have their photo taken with him (he only agreed if they promised, "No drunk driving!").  Things began to get out of hand as agent Karpinos began to taunt the Safety Shark.  Along with agent Arnold and IE associate Grant Austin, Karpinos told the crowds that for $1 he would let them take a swing at the shark with his inflatable WWF bat.  While no one actually paid the dollar,  Austin, Arnold, Karpinos, and agent Minton all took shots at the shark with the bat.  In the midst of the violence, other members of the crowd started to intimidate the Safety Shark, pushing and attempting to tackle him.

    As Safety Shark started getting concerned about his own safety, agent Todd (who was in the costume) stopped using his happy squeaky 'safety shark' voice and began using his normal, 'man who is in a shark costume' voice.  "Stop hitting me.  Stop it!  Stop!  Leave me alone!  I'm just trying to do my job!"  Things began to escalate as agent Karpinos began to repeatedly assault agent Todd.  A girl from the crowd tried to break up the fight by asking the two to hug each other and make up.  When Safety Shark went in for the hug, Karpinos hit him and stole his mask, taking off down the street with it.  Todd was now left with his bare head sticking out of the shark suit, humiliated.  "Come back here!  Give that back!  I'm calling my supervisor!!"  The chase ended when two police officers stopped Karpinos.  "Give that guy his shark head back or I'm going to arrest you right now."  Agent Karpinos complied with the police and the Safety Shark left the scene, dejected.
     
    --Other Highlights:
    -Woman argues that the name "Safety Shark" is an oxymoron.  "Why are you a shark!?  Sharks aren't safe!  This is ridiculous!  Do you know how many shark attacks there were this summer?"  (Safety Shark replied, "Do you know how many drunk driving accidents there were this summer?")

    -Safety Shark is repeatedly asked, "Hey were you the shark that was on campus yesterday?"

    -<b>A woman reaches between Safety Shark's legs and grabs his **** from behind.  Safety Shark exclaims, "Whoa now!  Safety Shark is married!!"</b>


    IE agents saved the day again!  Chapel Hill citizens are now free to live their lives away from the fear of shark attacks.  For now.  Mission accomplished. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->


    You know, a lot of the pranks on that site rock. That's going on my favorites list. I've read 5 so far, and all of them have been excellent in at least one respect. It's also PG as far as I've seen.
