What will they think of next?

from my friend John:
=====

I remember reading in my father's copy of "The Compleat Practical Joker," by H. Allen Smith, that Abraham Lincoln back in Illinois drilled a hole through the floor beneath the bed of the honeymoon suite of the town's hotel.  He tied a string to the bedsprings and ran it down to the lobby, where he hung a little bell off the end.  Then he and his buddies could pass an evening sitting in the lobby listening to the little bell ring.

 

Here's the 21^st Centruy version.  It involves motion sensors and a wireless interface to a Twitter account, but it's the same joke.

(The article includes a link to the Twitter account, and it's well worth looking at when you can.)
