I probably shouldn't officially condone office pranks, but sometimes such shenanigans can be great for morale. Not much brings a diverse group of people together better than a good laugh, and a well-planned prank can really get the guffaws going.

I thought I'd seen my share of great cubicle capers on YouTube -- spaces styled with bubble wrap or packing peanuts, even live plants growing in a keyboard -- but this one takes the cake. Not only is it a great example of thinking outside the box (pun intended) , but it's clear that a bunch of folks worked together like a well-oiled machine to execute this gotcha.

I just have two things to say. First: Their management team must be the coolest ever. And second: Are they hiring?
