A couple of professors at Smith College like to pull pranks on the entire school as part of the course they teach. You would think that after several years of this, everybody would be onto them, but apparently not. And so this year's prank involved using their students to convince everybody on campus that the school would be going completely vegetarian and locavore. It's actually surprising that the prank drew the kind of passionate opposition that it did, considering that you'd expect students at a school like Smith to be all about the veganism. But they didn't like the idea, so controversy raged until the hoax was revealed. I went to a school like that –– a small liberal arts college filled with earnest, well-meaning hippie types –– and if somebody offered the class that would hoax everybody else on campus, I would have signed up in a second.
