The best office prank I ever pulled was on a fellow dev, probably the smartest guy in the room. He came back from lunch and all of his apps stopped working. He couldn't launch anything. He restarted the computer and still nothing would start. He eventually figured out that launching an app from search works, but nothing would launch from his desktop shortcuts.

That's because while he was having lunch, I took a screenshot of his desktop, set that screenshot as the desktop background, and then hid the dock and deleted all his real icons :) (Well, put them in a folder for easy recovery).

He just kept clicking and clicking on that screenshot for way too long. Best 15 minutes of my life...
