Just like it sounds, Urban Prankster documents creative pranks carried out in an urban setting. Many of the groups submitting material are satellites of New York's Improv Everywhere, but there are submissions independent groups and individuals from all over the world as well.

Baby Smash! is software that you install to protect your computer from smaller people who tend to bang on the keyboard with little rhyme or reason.

As babies smash on the keyboard, colored shapes, letters and numbers appear on the screen. Baby Smash will lock out the Windows Key, as well as Ctrl-Esc and Alt-Tab so your baby can't get out of the application. Pressing ALT-F4 will exit the application and Shift-Ctrl-Alt-O brings up the options dialog.

I like how the program assumes that random banging might possibly result in Ctrl-Esc or Alt-Tab but never Alt-F4.

You know the trick you used to read comic books in class, where you prop up a textbook and hide the comic behind it?

Yeah, I've never done that either. But I've seen it on TV.

Anyway, this is the work version of that.

This guy takes Garfield comics and photoshops Garfield out of them. The result is a very mentally disturbed Jon Arbuckle.

The New York Times has an article on the site, where they also get a response from Jim Davis. He seems to like it just fine.
