Did the photo above make you do a double take? It probably took me a good 30 seconds before I realized the familiar image of the wall in front of Johns Hopkinsโ€™ Milton S. Eisenhower library wasโ€ฆ a little bit off.

Looks like some sneaky Johns Hopkins students (or faculty members?) used April Foolโ€™s Day as an excuse to transform their school into the โ€œJohn Hopkins University.โ€ Apparently it just takes a little tape to make the universityโ€™s name a lot less confusing to some. (Actual question I once heard on campus: Is Johns Hopkins an old-timey plural of John Hopkins? Answer: No.)

Nicely done, pranksters.
