Add another memorable hack to the MIT practical joke canon. Earlier this week, pranksters from the school dressed up Harvard University’s statue of founder John Harvard in Halo warrior drag. “In recognition of the release of Halo 3, a highly anticipated video game by Microsoft and Bungie, MIT hackers adorned the John P. Harvard statue, in Harvard Yard, with a Spartan helmet,” MIT newspaper the Tech reports. “The back of the helmet, which is worn by the protagonist of the game, Master Chief, was labeled with ‘Master Chief in Training.’ The statue was decorated with an assault rifle (bullet count of 2E), as well as a Beaver emblem on the right shoulder.”
