Think yourself a prankster? This was in regards to the Apollo 13 LM being used as a tug for the disabled CM, as the builders of the two spacecraft are different.
"Towing fees"
Grumman Aerospace Corporation, the builder of the Lunar Module, issued an invoice for $312,421.24 to North American Rockwell, the builder of the Command Module (CM), for "towing" the crippled ship most of the way to the moon and back. The invoice included a 20% commercial discount, as well as a further 2% discount if North American were to pay in cash. North American declined payment, noting that they had ferried Grumman LMs to the moon on three previous occasions with no such reciprocal charges. The invoice was drawn up by Grumman pilot Sam Greenberg as a gag following Apollo 13's successful splashdown. He had earlier helped with the strategy for re-routing power from the LM to the crippled CM.
Probably the best, geekiest prank evar.

I really want to see Umineko, it just isn't available in Australia yet.
As far as I am aware, the only English releases for the anime available are fansubs at the moment.
I myself have recently decided to re-watch it, specifically the uncensored BD versions so I don't end up with that pixelated gore in a few scenes. But only the first 12 episodes seem to be have been released with both subs and no censoring. Still, that at least brings me up to the first episode of Banquet of the Golden Witch, So I can live with it for now.

I've got something on the Epic Win forum that may interest you. As far as we know, no one can defeat Beato... except for one man!
Also, how to ruin an emotional moment:
