ST. PETER, Minn. – A science professor at Gustavus Adolphus College left for a week's vacation this summer and returned to a shiny office. Very shiny. Professor Scott Bur's students had covered his office in aluminum foil. Computer screen, chairs, the ceiling, the floor — all covered in foil. Books and pens were individually wrapped, so was the phone, a ball cap, a bottle and the coffee maker.

Bur said it's a sort of tradition among his research group. He goes on vacation and when he comes back there's ... something.

That last time it happened, his office was decorated for a fairy princess. Pink fabric and bows covered everything. The pink glow from the office could been across campus.

Senior Kristen Jahr said the foil prank required 10, 200-foot rolls of foil.

3. It's funny, but my first thought was "My God, what a waste of metal".

Especially aluminum, which has such a high cost on the environment to produce.

5. I'm immediatley reminded of Trailer Park Boys

The beginning of the 4th season where Julian gets out of Jail to find that Ricky's converted his trailer into a grow op, with tinfoil covering everything..
