September 11 hack at MIT

My brother who studies at MIT sent me an SMS earlier today informing me that there was a fire truck on the MIT dome.

Now for those of you who don't know, the dome at MIT is often victim of student pranks (called hacks at MIT) . A couple of years ago, it was transformed into R2D2 and it famously had a fake police car on top of it.

In 2006, hacks seem to have abounded, starting with the Torino Olympic medal hack and culminating with the ingenuous "relocation" of the Caltech Cannon from California to Massachusetts .

I am waiting for the day when there will be a huge cockroach on the dome of the Capstone Building here at USC. In the meantime, keep checking the IHTFP website for updates on the hacks at MIT.
