Today, I was in the student lounge and felt like getting a drink. So I stuck a dollar bill and two quarters into a nearby vending machine, which somehow was sold out of everything. How frustrating.
So, I pushed the coin-return button. In fact, I pressed it several times when nothing came out after a minute. Then, the damnedest thing happened: the machine started dropping coins. One at a time, my $1.50 came out of the machine in quarters. But it didn't stop there. Oh, no. It just kept spitting out quarters, one at a time, far beyond the money I had put in. When it ran out of quarters, it started arbitrarily dropping dimes and nickels, and soon it ran out of that too. It was like a slow-paying slot machine, there must have been at least $50 worth of change there. Luckily for Pepsi-Co, I am an honest man, and simply handed the money, sans the $1.50 I sought in the first place, over to school security.

I can't help but feel that I was the victim of an April Fool's day prank here. Though as far as I know, vending machines are not yet programmed for sentience, and therefore cannot understand the concept of April Fool's Day, or even the concept of days, for that matter...
