‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: TARDIS prank at MIT

Thu, Aug 26, 2010

The school bell has rung for students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, which means it’s time for pranks. Like this one, in which MIT students erected a mock TARDIS on the roof of one of the school’s buildings. From bbcamericangirl’s Flickr page:

And this one is by photographer Eric Schmiedl:

Here, you can see the banner reading “The Doctor – 1 / Harvard – 0.” Tee-hee!

Key detail: the banner reading, “Welcome Students” is evidently stolen from Harvard. Who knew the Doc was an MIT Hacker?
