In a small city like Austin, Minnesota, with a population of around 20,000 people, one would hardly expect a massive traffic jam caused by an endless stream of students crossing the road. Yet, this is precisely what happened one bewildering day, thanks to a clever prank orchestrated by some innovative high school juniors.

It all started when a driver found himself waiting for what seemed like an endless line of kids to cross the road. Initially thinking it would be a brief wait, he was soon puzzled as the line of students seemed never-ending, extending for over ten minutes. The peculiar scene quickly resulted in a significant traffic jam, with cars piling up behind him to the point where the end of the line was no longer visible.

Unbeknownst to the drivers, this spectacle was a well-planned prank by students of Austin High School. The two buildings between which the students were crossing are actually connected by an underground tunnel, a fact that the pranksters cleverly exploited. A group of 90 students, some even donning Cow and Chicken costumes, took turns walking in a single file across the street, creating the illusion of an infinite line of kids.

The prank, which lasted for about 15 to 20 minutes, fooled several drivers, some of whom eventually figured out the ruse and drove away. While many people in Austin found the prank crazy, it did cause a significant traffic disruption, frustrating some drivers who were caught in the jam.

This amusing and well-executed prank showcases the creativity and humor of Austin High School students. For those interested in seeing the prank in action and enjoying a good laugh, check out the video detailing the entire event.
