Styrofoam Shower

You know how your dorm door is set a few inches back from the wall? Like in this picture. I decided to make good use of that four inches.

The head of security actually gave me this idea. You take a piece of cardboard that is about 6-8 inches shorter than the door but about 2 inches wider on each side of the door. You tape it over the door, leaving that four inches between the door and the cardboard. As always, this one needs to be done in the middle of the night, when the victim is sleeping.

You then dump Styrofoam peanuts over the top of the cardboard, filling the space between the door and the cardboard. This is a lot of Styrofoam.

Then you create a funnel-like object (I know you're familiar with funnels) and build a contraption above the hole at the top of the cardboard and fill it with more peanuts. This means more and more peanuts will continue to shower down on the victim.

One last thing: there needs to be a cutout over the doorknob. This way, when you're done you can open the cutout and rattle the doorknob to wake the victim up. Otherwise it will be left there until they get up. This leaves open the possibility of someone taking it down during the night, which would ruin it. You need to wake them up to set the prank in motion.

Oh, and did I mention I did this to my boss, the Resident Director?
