@SpecialistDex @ColJSheppard You're both morons. STOP POSTING ON TWITTER. Tumblr is on this and it's only a matter of time before CNN is.

HOUSTON—It seems the spring fever has hit NASA's Johnson Space Center a bit late this year: a prank war has been carried out among several of the less reserved members of the Agency, including Astronaut John Sheppard and Flight Control Staff Members Radek Zelenka and Charles Campbell.
“There's a lot of pressure on anyone who works here, so it's really just a way for everyone to blow off steam,” one person, who asked not to be named, told us. When asked about how the higher ups might feel about the activity, our source elaborated, “All the pranks are harmless—lots of, like, Elmer's glue on doorknobs and covering offices in post-it notes, that kind of stuff.”
That said, it does appear that the prank war may be over as a photo of NASA Director Elizabeth Weir was released on EVA Specialist Ronon Dex's Instagram page today. In the photo, which does use some of Instagram's inbuilt filters, it appears that Dr. Weir's previously brown hair is now blue. A caption on the post reading This bad references earlier Twitter posts between Dex and Sheppard.
