Fun with foil

The guy that sits in the cube next to me got married and he's out on his honeymoon. While he was gone, we all decided to foil his cube. We covered the walls, the floor, the desk, the computer, the trashcan, papers, pens, paper clips, tacks, photos, etc. Even the pieces of paper he had on his cube wall got covered.



It's not an original idea but it was still so much fun. If anything funny happens on Monday when he gets back, I'll try to update this post.

With all that foil, I bet he could listen to the space station, or mars people.

What a sad waste of foil. My people and I could make hundreds of foil helmets to protect people other than ourselbes from dangerous mind reading radio waves emitted by both the governemnt and the aliens. Can we get that when your done with it. Certainly would increase our foil budget for next year.

I remember on the news when this was done to the inside of someone's house/apartment in Seattle. They also foiled his car also.

I remember thinking it didn't really cost much for all that foil--something like $600.

We had two restaurant sized rolls of foil. We used one and just a little bit of the second. There were about 10 people that helped out. Typically, there were 2-3 people in the cubicle during lunch break for 3 days. Then we would wrap one or two things during breaks or after hours. If we coordinated it better, I'm sure we could get it all done in 2 hours with 10 people. We had people wrapping the large items in the cube, and some people in the next cube over wrapping the small items that were on his desk.

OMG!!!! That's even better than the picture I saw of a guys cube completely filled with packing peanuts!

I'm pretty sure you should be able to control the Mars robots from that cube....either that or cook one heck of a big turkey!

Great effort, you have to let us know what he does.
