JavaScript April Fools Joke

[Bret Little]

If you could arbitrarily execute JavaScript code on somebody else's computer in the context of the web pages they visited, what would be a good prank to pull? (Hopefully, nothing too malicious. . . .)

I have very much wanted to find a way to implement the "Harlem Shake" on a web page: music starts, one word of a text element starts to "wiggle", then the bass drops and all the other words are transformed into  Comic Sans or Webdings and start jumping around.

In the same fashion YouTube does right now when you go to their site and search 'do the harlem shake'?

How about running this script (jquery needed):

$("img").each(function() {

var $img = $(this);

$img.attr("src", "http://placekitten.com/" + $img.width() + "/" + $img.height());

});

Run that on ksl.com :D

$("a").attr("href", "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ");

Or perhaps that finally all of my previous posts were approved. :)

Actually it was just that he was a first-time poster and no one has checked the pending queue for 6 days.
