Cannonball Run

Personally I figured they should've just left it where it was, but as usual the Flems had to get all pissy and run out to get their precious cannon back. Of course, they had to figure out that the Mudders weren't the ones who did it this time. Hey, somebody had to do it, and other Techers couldn't because of Interhouse rules.

Sure, it was totally weak that Fleming let the MIT geeks get away with the cannon in the first place, but there were extenuating circumstances.

1. The South Houses were being renovated, so the cannon had been moved off-campus rather than sitting right outside Fleming Hovse.
2. The cannon couldn't be seriously locked down because it was sitting on grass.
3. The cannon was located along the street, making the getaway a heck of a lot easier.
4. They outsmarted Caltech security. Hardly takes a genius to do that.

Not that I'm biased or anything, but the MIT Prefrosh Weekend prank was a lot more clever than moving a large object cross-country. Although it's about the only way either school would ever get noticed on ESPN.
