Hamsters & aluminum foil

And another funny story off the yahoo page:

Payback For Prankster Is Human-Sized Hamster Cage
POSTED: 5:03 pm PDT May 19, 2006
OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A practical joker got a taste of revenge when friends turned part of his apartment into a human-sized hamster cage, complete with shredded newspaper bedding, a six-foot exercise wheel and a giant water bottle.
"It was a lot of work, but it was one of those cases where you do it because you have to," said Keith Jewell, a longtime friend and neighbor who engineered Monday's hamster-cage prank on Luke Trerice.
Trerice, 28, had it coming: In 2004, he enlisted others to help him encase another friend's apartment and most of his belongings in aluminum foil.
The victim of that prank, Chris Kirk, spent nearly two years cleaning up the meticulous coating of foil, which was wrapped around everything from his toilet and CD collection to the individual coins in his spare change.
A giant ball of foil still sits in the basement of Kirk's former apartment building.
The revenge plotting began immediately, and even though Kirk has since moved to Colombia, Jewell and others finished the job for him.
Trerice, who once said he would be insulted if there was no attempt at payback, also was waiting to see what his friends would come up with.
He even helped them out, making sure they knew it would be a month before he could move in to his Olympia apartment after graduating from dental school in Las Vegas.
"I knew that something was happening. They made no effort to hide it," Trerice told The Olympian newspaper.
Eight people put in more than 100 hours assembling the room, and supplies cost about $300.
