Who doesn't want a little more Nicolas Cage in their life? You may be familiar with the brilliant "Ncage" extension, which replaces all images on webpages with pictures of the esteemed American actor Nicolas Cage. While this is humorous for a short time, victims quickly realize that they've been pranked and promptly disable the extension, ending the fun prematurely.
Enter nCage+! This extension allows you to implement a more subtle strategy by specifying the percentage of images that you would like to be replaced, rather than bluntly replacing all images. Add this extension to a friend or co-worker's browser and laugh as Nicolas Cage randomly shows up while they browse the web. It could be days or even weeks before they realize that something is up!
This evolution of the original concept includes a number of beneficial upgrades:
Customizable image replacement probability
Image references that won't break over time
Additional themed libraries. Choose from "Nicolas Cage", "Rubber Ducks", "Anime Girls", or even create your own!
Optionally increase the image replacement rate over time
Improved image resizing and scaling
A friendly "+" extension icon to deflect suspicion

The deviousness of this is tremendous. Like planting a seed, my coworker's laptop was open while she was setting up her room. Within 25 seconds I had the extension downloaded and set up starting at 1% going up 1% every day. By the time she ran up wondering what I was doing on her laptop I was out in a flash. This was late August.
Last night, around 20 days after setting it up I got this email from her:
"We are fighting
Friends off
My kids school pictures were random Nick Cage things hahahaha
I CALLED AND EMAILED THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR CRYING OUTLOUD AND SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HELP MEEEEEEEEEE"
And the innocuousness of the extension logo is the cherry on top, it blends right in with the myriad of other extensions our job has pre-installed.
Thank you for this. There are a few more staff members that will soon be contacting IT in confusion. It's a valuable lesson in laptop security.
