My former co-worker reminded me of this one. My last boss decided our department should have an official web page showing her picture at the top and then everyone elses. She submitted one very nice professional picture of herself and then went around and snapped "candid shots" of everone else and I really did not like mine. The web page went up and everyones picture was linked to a filename which was based on their name.
Sooooo I found a picture of a particularly handsome well known actor and downloaded it. Gave it the same name as my filename and copied it over to the webshare using anonymous FTP. Viola! Instead Make Over!
This went unnoticed for several months when suddenly someone sent an email to the boss stating how hilarious my picture was (he got the joke).
My boss went ballistic and tried to prove I had changed code (I told her I did not) and then tried to prove I somehow altered the webpage. She finally said "I KNOW you did something!"..

Hahaha!!! Great job!!! You should do that for some other bad candid shots, so she won't know WHO the culprit really is! ^_^ Then, when everyone's picture has been altered, alter HERS! I think the backside of a hippopotomus would be appropriate....hehehehe....!

Regarding the request for a link... This was an INTERNAL web page which can only be seen on the business intranet. But the picture I used can be seen here... http://home.rixtele.com/~urdskalla/Skivomslag/Mel_Gibson.jpg
