My husband and his cousin filled a black plastic lawn bag with water and dropped it off their balcony (they lived in Cairo) and onto an old VW Bug car which then collapsed the roof of the car!

My husband's friend's son stole a baby Penguin from a Zoo (Chester) put it in his sports bag and bought it home - only after hearing the lad chatting to something/someone in the bath (as he was very muddy) did they investigate and found the baby Penguin in the bath with their son eating bourbon biscuits. Upon phoning the zoo to admit the theft they were told on no account to feed it with anything as they have very delicate stomachs !! - consequently the Penguin was returned but the zoo threatened to prosecute until they queried the security and how an 8 yr old boy could manage to do this - whereupon all charges were dropped !

Its funny you say that, because my Uncle tells of a friend who did that when he was at school..... and it was at Chester Zoo. Did he go to School in Northwich by any chance...?
That's one of the funniest things i've heard in a long time .
My Dad's friend used to work in Cairo and there was one of those speakers that is connected to a mosque right outside his bedroom window . It went off every morning at 0500 when prayers started. One morning after a night out on the piss he just couldn't hear it anymore, he went into his kitchen, got a knife, opened the window, leaned out and cut the wire leading to the speaker. He was kicked out of his flat the same day

I didn't really do anything too mischevious or out of order. My brother on the other hand...
He and two of his friends found an ammo cannister in the alley. They picked it up, saw that it had a little gunpowder in it apparently. Intrigued, they proceeded to try an expiriment. They added some newspaper and some plastic army men. Looking more deeply at it, they decided that it needed one last thing. They went into the garage and grabbed the bottle of gasoline and poured it into the ammo canister. It was all set. One of them lit the match and dropped it from a height of about five feet. The resulting fireball nearly took off his eyebrows. Aside from a slight burn on the concrete driveway, though, there was no other evidence of it...yet.
Not quite done with their mischief, they went back into the garage and found two baseball bats and an axe. Deciding that the fence was in need of repair, they proceeded to chop up nearly half of it before I finally heard what was going on (I was inside the house, in an area where I cannot see the driveway or backyard, doing homework and listening to music). I ran outside and had them drop all of that stuff and followed them around like a hawk until mom got home from work. She went ballistic. But she still did not know about the ammo canister and gasoline. My brother claimed he had no idea why part of the driveway was black or why there was a heat-deformed ammo canister lying around.
Skip forward four years. My mom was out running some errands and stopped by Eckerd's. Thinking she was picking up some film from a recent vacation, she opened the package. She was greeted by pictures of the flaming ammo canister and the boys chopping up the fence. My brother had his ass chewed out again
