Hack time!

Wikipedia's celebrating its tenth anniversary, so the MIT hacking community decided to join in:

Hayden Library


Found on the door to the Admissions Office, which is located along the Infinite Corridor, the extremely long hallway that spans MIT's main building:

Admissions, on the Infinite Corridor

Note on the Dean for Student Life's office. I lol'd.

Dean of Students' office

On a sculpture outside the Student Center. The note reads "Some or all of the formulas presented in this statue have missing or incomplete descriptions of their variables, symbols or constants, which may create ambiguity or prevent full interpretation. Please assist in recruiting an expert or improve this article yourself. See the talk page for details."

... and the obvious note, found pretty much everywhere on campus:

Math department office

There are a few more in my Flickr photostream, if you'd like to see them.

Oh, that is classic.

I wish we could hack UVA. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure we'd just get nailed for vandalism.

I like that, it is fun hacking! Reminds me of seeing stickers with the facebook thumb up ("I like") glued in several place in my city...

Thanks for posting this. I was seeing the signs all weekend at Hunt and I didn't realize it was because of Wikipedia's 10th anniversary, though it was clear it was a nice hack regardless. The "hallway too long" one was especially funny.
