Here's how you make a kickass smoke bomb.
Take some Saltpeter(potassium nitrate) and sugar.
The mixture needs to be 6 parts Saltpeter and 4 parts Sugar.
Heat the mixture up under a low flame until it all melts, stir it well.
Now before it turns solid, put it into the future container, it can be anything really, tupper ware, big glass, whatever. Make sure you put a few matches in the concocktion before it solidifies for a fuse.
Even one pound of this stuff can cover a whole city block in very, very thick white smoke. I wouldn't reccommend doing this near any major roads, because that's just plain dangorous if no one can see.
Ignite a few of these suckers in random hallways, get a few friends to do it with you since, like my own school, every hallway has a camera down it. Keep your head down and cover your face. Once you light it, run, or stick around and watch the hilarity if you think you won't get caught. I was never caught for this, and neither was anybody I did it with. Nobody was injured, either, harmless it seems in my experiences. I'm pretty sure a few teachers knew it was us that did, but nobody ever said anything. I don't even think they came looking for us either, hehe... <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Saltpeter melts at 333 C. How, pratel, do you expect to get it that hot on a 'low heat?'
Your average bunsen gives a flame of 800'C, and a gas hob slightly less. (Some go higher in fact.)
I'm so doing it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
I'm proficient enough with electronics to setup a radio-controlled device that emits a strong magnetic field, but I doubt it will be substantial enough to knock out our server room. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> If only EM grenades were real.
I'm also keen on the salt+bleach of field idea, but what message? "Owned" is just not original enough anymore.
I know the temperatures, I did it with a bunsen burner, as BlueNovember said, that thing can be pretty damn hot.
I only said over a low flame because not everyone can get access to a bunsen burner, a simple campfire would be able to do the job also.
You can also make your own Saltpeter, but it's very time consuming, unless there's other ways that I don't know about ;P.
Look around, for some reason I remember seeing some in a store around where I live... And if you can, check out where your school hides the chemicals for lab experiments, I know for a fact that my school has some hidden away.

best trick ever, buy three piglets (they're not that expensive) and a tub of lard. Grease each piglet, and paint the numbers 1, 2 and 4 on the sides of the pigs. Release them in the school and watch as teachers/students try to catch the piglets, only to have them slip through their arms, and eventually when they are all caught, they'll continue searching for the elusive piglet number 3.

This year, 2 seniors came up with a prank, first, they bought a carboard box of 1000 live crickets for $20, then, one distracted the librarian, while the other took the box to the back of the library, and opened it, both proceeded to leave calmly. 5 minutes later the library was closed and all the students evacuated from it. It took them at least an hour to vacuum up all the Crickets. (yes, vacuum them.)
If you're alittle more destructive and like big explostions, try a tennis ball bomb. Cut a small slit, A SLIT, NOT A HOLE, in the tennis ball. Break off the matchheads of those 'strike anywhere' matches, they normally have white heads. Stuff the heads into the tennis ball till it's full. Like, packed, can't fit anymore in, be careful once it gets close to being packed. Duct tape the slit you made. You could stick alittle smokeless gunpowder in there for fun. Then, when you see someone to scare the **** out of, throw it really hard onto the ground. Boom.
Flour bomb anyone?
Take a wet paper towl and pour a given amount of baking flour in the middle. Wrap it up and put a rubber band on it to keep it together. Throw the sucker at someone unsuspecting-hopefully someone who can't run either-, it'll fly nicely, but when it hits, BOOM! Flour all over them. Gives them a pretty big scare because they could think it's anthrax.
Just some random fun here. Take some eggs and get a needle, sharp one, and poke a small hole in the top of each one. Let them suckers sit in a nice warm spot for about a week. What do ya have? Bunch of rotten eggs that will only smell when you hit someone with em.
I have more explosive ones, but I don't know if you really want to be tampering with explosive material for a grad prank...
Ideas from various partners-in-crime:<ul><li>Purchase "Crime Scene: Do not cross" tape. (eBay, hardware store, etc). Reasonably cheap. Lots of potential. Sneak in the night before and tape up all the entraces to the grounds. Add a chalk outline to the road in the staff carpark. </li><li>Using GP340 radios for communication, duct-tape up the exits from the building 2 minutes before final bell. Film results. I suppose you could just plan which exits each person is going to do, but using the radios is just far more exciting. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> (Besides, it looks better on camera.) </li><li>Use a template to add a prefix (you can work it out) to "HEAD" in the headmaster's car-parking space.</li></ul> Edit: Security policy is tight (no user rights to install or run anything locally, etc) so virus or worm attacks are limited.
