In Praise Of Trolls And Trolling

Trolling, in the form of pranks, has been a key outlet for the expression of creativity and humor for centuries. Physicist Richard Feynman was trolling when he stole his fraternity brothers’ door -- but his true master stroke came when he admitted his guilt and no one believed him. Tony Hsieh, chief executive of Zappos.com, is famous for office pranks. Our comedy, from "Borat" to "Jackass," is filled with trolls. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, of course, is the home of some of the most ingenious pranks in history.
