Woman Makes Museum Exhibits Out Of Roommate's Stuff In Hilarious Prank
By Mark PygasUpdated Nov. 18 2019, 2:15 p.m. ET
Roommates can either be the best or the worst, there's just no in between. But we're guessing that Ellen Huet, a writer for Bloomberg, is in the former category. While two of her roommates were away on a trip, she decided to play a pretty amazing prank on them.
Huet and the rest of the house grouped together to turn their room into a museum, so that future generations might have some insight on San Francisco life.
She wrote, "Opportunity: two of your housemates take a trip. Battle plan: rest of house bands together to convert their bedroom into an error-filled anthropological exhibit from the future."

United States CurrencyMetal, paper, glassThe collection of metal and paper in this container is believed to be a shrine. Some humans followed the religion known as Capitalism, and believed they would go to "Bankruptcy" if they did not leave daily offerings for their economic deity, who would collect the offerings with an Invisible Hand.I'm sure this won't confuse people in the future...
Sex Toy Polypropylene and steelA rare and highly well-maintained example of the type of device used by 20th century humans for optimizing eugonadal elevation. Notice the clamp designed for the somewhat titillating practice know as "crimping."This one could actually pass for the truth.
CondomYarnHumans of this era would sew condoms to use before mating.Unsurprisingly, people found the photos hilarious.
One person asked if she'd ever been to the Museum of Jurassic Technology. "This is the kind of friendly trolling that makes life awesome," wrote another person on Twitter.
I have not, but it seems exceedingly relevant to my interests

Fun with lamination.

This makes my inner archaeologist very happy.
