David Norris and Larry Osterman are classic Microsoft pranksters (watch their original Channel 9 interview for how they pranked Steve Ballmer, among others).

One of their weapons of choice is the bouncy ball and this (now declassified) video from midnight on April 1st, 2006 shows what happens when you throw ten thousand rubber bouncy balls down six flights of a stairwell.

That was actually me, I had zero protection, the only thing I had was a clear plastic nameplate we had unscrewed from a door to protect the camera. Fun stuff Smiley

I never really understood the point of April Fools, maybe I'm just too boring or unimaginative to think up anything.
