In the lobby of the main building of the engineering school at the University of Virginia (YouVeeAy), there was a detailed architects model of the school with buildings, cars, trees etc all in a nice glass display case. Well, one night, someone opened it and added a few items. Godzilla was attacking on the ground and King Kong had climbed one of the buildings. The Virginia National Guard, in the form of little green plastic army men, was doing its best to fight them with tanks etc.
The school actually left it for a few days and it was photographed and made the cover of an alumni publication.
The roof of the same building was decorated another time with a 6 foot tall inflatable Gumby who was not noticed at first.

Also, I do not know if this counts, but my wife actually graduated from UVA dressed as Gumby (Gumby head with black mortorboard cap pinned on and black gown.) I am not really sure why; but, the nurses carry helium filled rubber gloves, the aerosoace engineers put propellors on their caps so why not?
