==Hacks== Because the heavy pedestrian traffic in the Infinite Corridor guarantees a large audience, it is a setting for some "[[Hacks at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology|hacks]]" ([[practical joke]]s),<ref name="HackLobby7" /> especially those of a serial nature such as a series of "[[Burma Shave]]" style signs. The "Mass Toolpike" hack in 1985 involved placing traffic signals, lane markings, and highway-like signs along the length of the Infinite Corridor.<ref name=Toolpike>{{cite book|last=Peterson|first=Institute Historian T.
