Take a normal burrito and inject methylene blue. Turns their piss blue for a
couple of days.
For added enjoyment, circulate an official looking noticeboard warning about
a local outbreak of Cyanouric Disease (Plauger's Syndrome). You can guess

I've been writing an editor for translation strings as part of a Windows
software internationalisation project. It's a VB program, using an Access
database. When the last M'Soft Developer's Network CD-ROM came in, I noticed
that they had "official" glossaries on it for standard Windows
terms in 4
different languages. By midnight I'd imported them into Access (hey guys, how
about putting them all in the same format 8-( ), done a bit of VB coding, and
had a working "auto-translation" facility.
