Pranking The Museum Of Fine Arts

You need to hear this. B. J. Novak, the Newton native who plays Ryan Howard on "The Office," reveals on his blog how he and a buddy punk'd MFA visitors back in 1997. They stole a tape from the museum's audio tour for the Chinese art exhibit, "Tales From the Land of Dragons," and painstakingly re-recorded their own version of the guide. Then, the boys had a group of friends visit the MFA and slip the phony guide tapes into players. Now, the tour is posted on iTunes. Just search for Novak and museum.
