Several Steps Above Fizzies In The Pool

Dead: Leon Varjian, a high school teacher in New Jersey. Why is this news? Because Leon Varjian was one of the all-time college pranksters; with his partner in crime Jim Mallon in the '70s, he turned the University of Wisconsin-Madison on its ear, managing to get elected to student government with promises to change the name of the school to the University of New Jersey and building a replica of the head of the Statue of Liberty on the lake. (Mallon went on to co-create "Mystery Science Theater 3000.") It's not a surprise that Varjian ended up a hugely popular teacher. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
