[Updated Again!] Astor Place cube pranked

Our friends at Welcome to the Funhouse spotted this early today ...


Credit then to the the Caltech Prank Club ...?


Yes, it has been turned into a Weighted Companion Cube ...

@mylestanzer noted that the Astor Place cube police have removed the gag...


Runnin' Scared has more on all this here.

I love it when people do clever things to the cube–like the woman who knit the sweater cover for it...Hope this one lasts longer than the sweater though...

I Absolutely love it! Now if they could only pull the wool over the monstrosity across the street.

Cute. Begs the question though; why are Caltech students pulling pranks in New York....? Is this the beginning of a nerd-Biggie and geek-Tupac thing?

the sweater cover lady is Olek... and it was a big bummer that the parks dept cut it right down. boo!

Yeah, unoriginal, Olek ripoff, but still cool. Original and cool is tough, one out of two is much better than the average.

Thinking of Olek, she is having legal troubles in London right now and could use some support.
