Terminal bombs were a thing back in high school. We would pass the diskette around and load the program on every PC in the lab, enter RUN and press <Enter> just as the bell rang. The BASIC program was pretty simple:
1) An empty loop that took long enough to complete to allow us to exit the room, leaving the CS teacher alone in the lab
2) A forever loop that beeped a random frequency and cleared the screen to a random color as fast as possible.
3) A discombobulated CS teacher running around the lab to stop the madness.
