We finally returned the prank on the Americans! After a planned delay to lull them into a false sense of security, the “Canadian Triad” (aka Em, Gen, and I) struck last night!!
For the last several days we have been stealing empty water bottles from the lab. We gathered over 50 of them, then constructed water bottle towers (7 bottles per tower, 7 towers) and borrowed a beer crate from the local grocery store.

| Step 3: Build Towers |
At 4:45AM, Gen, Em, and I snuck out of our room, armed with bottle towers. We then ran to the Americans’ room, and proceeded to fill their entire doorframe with bottles. We then taped the bottles into the doorframe so that they would fall in to the room when the door was opened. To top it off, we drew a large maple leaf on a piece of paper and stuck it to the inside of the water bottles. We plunked the beer crate at the bottom to support the water bottle towers.

| Step 5: Construct Wall'o'Bottles |
We did pretty well – we managed not to laugh too hard while taping the Americans in and we certainly didn’t wake them up which was good.
Success – a certain American was bonked on the head this morning at 6:00AM. If only we had seen her face! The water bottle prank is now somewhat legendary here, and all the supervisors had a good chuckle at Mel’s expense.
